"One of the things that amazes many when I tell them is that motor racing is an area in Australia where Sports Chaplaincy is very strong - maybe it's got something to do with the fact that drivers have a real appreciation for how near injury & death are in that sport!" said Andrew Kerr of NZ's Christian Sports Network.

"Consequently it may come as no surprise that at the SCA gala event at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne this week V8 Ute driver Andrew ‘Fishtail' Fisher will be the guest speaker."

‘Fishtail' will take the stage alongside AFL legend David (the Ox) Schwarz, to recognise the vital work of sports chaplains nationwide.

"It's an honour to speak to such an inspiring audience," says Fishtail. "Sports Chaplains care for the spiritual wellbeing of Australia's leading athletes, who in turn provide our country with leadership, entertainment and inspiration. As a Christian sportsperson I look forward sharing my gratitude for the amazing work done by sports chaplains right across our Nation".

'Fishtail', in his usual direct and to-the-point style will no doubt relish the opportunity to shake up a few paradigms on the night!

More than 400 people are expected at the event, which will also be addressed by World Champion Aerial skier Kirstie Marshall (OAM) and Glenn Scott from the VCFL.
