Local rugby league players able to attend Raiders home finalGreat news for Raiders junior rugby league players this afternoon, with the announcement that times for preliminary finals matches have been shifted on Sunday to give players and their families the chance to attend the Raiders home final against the Sharks on Sunday.
Some of the junior finals matches originally clashed with the 4.00pm kick off time for the Raiders v Sharks match, however Canberra Junior Rugby League were able to reschedule matches earlier in the day so juniors could play their matches and still attend the NRL final.
Raiders CEO Don Furner praised the local junior competition for being able to organise the change at short notice and said he hoped all the players could now get themselves a ticket and head to the match.
“Thankfully we’ve been able to re-schedule the matches on Sunday so everyone has the chance to come out and support the Raiders,” Furner said. “Junior rugby league is an important part of our organisation and we’re very happy the Canberra junior rugby league has been able to change at short notice.”
