People's Favourites Emerge In Pink Auction

With less than a day to run, bidding is heating up in the Northern Knights' charity fundraising auction on TradeMe - but there are still some great bargains going for Knights supporters.

Daniel Vettori's autographed pink HRV Cup playing shirt is still leading the bidding at $681, but Tim Southee has overtaken Thilkaratne Dilshan for second place at $300.

Bidding heated up on the shirt of rising star Kane Williamson after his match-winning performance in the Knights' national one-day final on the weekend, while Michael Parlane, Blackcaps BJ Watling and Daniel Flynn and popular Knights stalwart Joey Yovich are all proving a hit.

So far, the team has collectively raised $2,835, with all the proceeds to be given to their official charity, the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation, and ND junior cricket development.

But there are still real steals on offer with seven of the players' autographed playing shirts currently going for up to $30 less than the price of an official replica shirt. With the added prestige of the player's name and playing number on the back, it will be a great look in the crowd when the Knights return in their now legendary pink gear next summer.

To bid, just jump on Trademe and search for 'Pink Northern Knights' - most of the auctions close this Thursday evening.
