The Canberra Raiders will run out for their first Grand Final appearance since 1994 when they take on the Sydney Roosters in the 2019 Grand Final at ANZ Stadium this Sunday night. The Raiders will be hoping to win the club’s fourth ever premiership, their first in 25 years.
Unfortunately, not everyone can attend the game in Sydney, so Raiders Belconnen and the ACT Government have teamed up to deliver the next best site to watch the game on the big screen with other passionate rugby league fans.
RAIDERS BELCONNEN LIVE GRAND FINAL SITE
WHERE: 155 Hardwick Crescent Holt ACT
WHEN: 5pm - 10pm, Sunday 6 October
This family friendly event has been established to bring the community together on the picturesque Raiders Belconnen Oval (opposite Kingsford Smith School). Venue Management will be selling food and beverages from the adjoining Club; however, attendees can bring their own picnic if they prefer.
This is a free event, with a gold coin requested upon entry to support the development of female rugby league in the ACT.
ACT Minister for Sport and Recreation, Yvette Berry MLA, encouraged local residents to gather in support of Canberra’s iconic sporting team.
“Canberra really is bleeding green for the Canberra Raiders and I can’t wait to cheer them on with everyone at the Raiders Belconnen Oval in Kippax,” Minister Berry said. “No matter the outcome, it’s been a great season for the Raiders and for their fans. They’ve done us proud.”
