AUSSIE STADIUM INAUGURAL ANZAC DAY CUP
21 April 2004
On Sunday 25 April at Aussie Stadium, General Peter Cosgrove, AC MC, Chief of the Defence Force will present the inaugural ANZAC Day trophy sponsored by the Sydney Cricket & Sports Ground Trust and Aussie Home Loans to the winning team of the 2004 ANZAC Day NRL match.
The game between the Roosters and the Dragons is in its third year as the Telstra Premierships official Anzac Day match. It has become a prestigious event acknowledging past players who served in the war, along with current serving representatives of the armed forces.
With tradition playing a big part in the success of this event, the Trust and the NRL felt that it was deserving of a perpetual trophy to annually commemorate ANZAC Day.
It is expected the two previous crowds of 20,588 and 26,014 in 2002 and 2003 respectively will be exceeded on Sunday, with both teams coming off notable wins last weekend.
Coincidently the Roosters and Dragons will start the game having won one Anzac Day match each, both by the same margin of 24-20.
Gates open at 12.30pm with the first game starting at 1pm. The main game kicks off at 3pm.
Shuttle buses will run from Easts Leagues Club in Spring Street to Aussie Stadium with other shuttle services departing from Chalmers Street near Central Station.
