NRL

The countdown to the round three clash between Penrith Panthers and Melbourne Storm is well and truly on. Tickets are still available for the match which will be played at Carrington Park on Saturday 30 March. Tickets are available on Ticketek through BathurstNRL.com.au
This is the sixth year our city has hosted the Penrith Panthers and I’m sure the match will attract a good crowd. Fans of rugby league will be in for a great night of football with the Western Women’s U18 grand final and the Group 10 men’s first grade game between Bathurst Panthers and Blayney Bears being played as curtain raisers to the main game.

The game brings immense benefits to our community creating 7 full time jobs and injecting $880 000 into the local economy.
Children will have the opportunity to meet and learn from the Penrith team at the ‘Play Like a Panther Super Clinic’. The clinic is open to children 5-12 years of age to learn rugby league skills and drills. All participants must register online at www.bathurstnrl.com.au.
The clinic will be held on Thursday 28 March, from 4pm-5pm at the Bathurst Sports Ground.
