Fans of Home and Away were thrilled to see Fitzy, Wippa, Kate Ritchie, and two of the show’s biggest actors reunited for Nova’s Backyard Cricket.
A wide range of well-known personalities attended the yearly charity match, including cricketer Brett Lee, tennis player Lleyton Hewitt, singer-songwriter Amy Shark, and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
But it was the return of longtime Home and Away star Ray Meagher to the field, when he joined Kate Ritchie’s squad, that made fans yearn for the much anticipated reunion of Alf Stewart and Sally Fletcher.
With a video captioned, “The man, the myth, the legend Ray Meagher gets a standing ovation from @kateritchieofficial and his team after getting some hefty runs in!,” Fitzy, Wippa, and Kate posted on Instagram.
Additionally, Kate Ritchie shared a joyful photo of the two with Lleyton Hewitt, with the caption:
“Where do I start with my #backyardcricket dump for @fitzywippakate? With these two longtime buddies, new additions to the cricket squad, and national treasures.. 🏏🏠🇦🇺 I appreciate your confidence in me to lead you today 😉.”
Fans flooded the official Home and Away account with crown emojis in the comments section of the post.
The Fitzy, Wippa, and Kate account responded, “The king and queen of the bay!”
“Seeing Ray and Kate is always pleasant. Aussie Legends back together,” a commenter commented.
One of the fans referenced one of Alf’s famous quips, “I wanna hear a flamin’ hell… catch the ball 😃,” while another said, “Stone the flamin crows!”
In terms of the cricket match, Team Fitzy defeated Team Kate, scoring 89 runs to Kate’s 69.
