ISF v UN cricket match
The International Stabilisation Force (ISF) defeated the United Nations (UN) in the inaugural cricket match held at Dili Stadium on Sunday, 22 July 2007.
The hot sun of Timor-Leste beamed down on the Dili Stadium for an afternoon of friendly rivalry which saw the ISF come out on top with a 122 runs for nine wickets win over the UN score of 97, all out.
There was another side to the initiative of the cricket match and that was to raise funds for, and awareness about, the Mary McKillop Foundation which provides support and practical assistance for orphans and children of Timor Leste in the area of education.
Operation ASTUTE is the Australian Government's response to a request from the Government of Timor-Leste to assist in restoring peace to their country.
The Australian Defence Force (ADF) has deployed to Timor-Leste with a mission to assist the Government and the United Nations to bring stability, security and confidence to the Timorese to allow them to resolve their differences democratically and peacefully.
There are approximately 1100 ADF personnel currently serving in Timor-Leste. This force will remain in Timor-Leste continuing to provide a robust response capability to support the Government of Timor-Leste and the United Nations Police force.
Police from Australia and 24 other nations throughout the world provide security in Dili. The ADF provides support to these police operations as required.
The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) is working alongside the ADF to assist with this mission.
