2015 AAMI #COUNTRYCITY TICKETS ON SALE
Rugby league fans can watch some of the best players
in NSW face off for as little as $10 in the 2015 AAMI
Country v City, which will be held in Wagga Wagga.
Tickets are now on sale for the annual clash, which will
be held at McDonalds Park on May 3.
NRL Head of Marketing, Content and Digital Lewis Pullen
said the AAMI Country v City clash gave supporters the
chance to watch some of the best players in the game in
a unique and entertaining contest.
“The AAMI Country v City is always competitive and
entertaining,” Mr Pullen said. “Not only is it an
opportunity for the players to play representative rugby
league, and potentially set themselves up for higher
honours, it is also a chance for us to take the game to
regional areas.
“The match showcases the talent in the competition and
the fact that our supporters can see those players for as
little as $10 for adults, $5 for children and $25 for
families means the game is incredible value as well.”
CRL Chief Executive Terry Quinn said he was excited to
showcase the new facilities at McDonalds Park in the
annual match.
“We encourage rugby league fans from throughout the
Riverina to get their tickets early and show their support
for Representative Rugby League in the bush,” Mr Quinn
said.
“In the coming weeks, we will be announcing a number
of events planned around the 2015 AAMI Country v City
match, with both teams taking part in promotions in the
lead up to and throughout the week in the area,
providing several opportunities for locals to meet their
Rugby League heroes. NSWRL Chief Executive David
Trodden said the match would serve as a genuine State
of Origin trial for NSW coach Laurie Daley.
“The annual City-Country match remains an integral
part of NSW’s representative rugby league framework
and I know our team, coached by VB Blues legend Brad
Fittler, will be desperate to fight for a win and put on a
good show for the people of Wagga Wagga,” Mr Trodden
said. “It should be a great spectacle.”
Last year’s AAMI Country v City match in Dubbo ended
in a thrilling 26-all draw. City Coach Brad Fittler and VB
Country Origin Coach Trent Barrett said it would again
be an important lead-in match to the Holden State of
Origin series.
“It’s always an enjoyable week to be a part of and the
Country boys love getting out and engaging with the
local communities,” Mr Barrett said.
“It’s fantastic to see games of this standard being
played in regional areas and we’re looking forward to
playing in front of a big country crowd.”
Mr Fittler said: “Last year’s Origin win has made
competition for VB Blues spots fiercer than ever. There’ll
be some absolute fan favourites and some real cult
heroes playing in this match – it will be fantastic.”
