Crusaders to play March home games at Trafalgar Park, Nelson
Crusaders to play March home games at Trafalgar Park,
Nelson
Media release: 25 February 2011
Trafalgar Park will host the Crusaders in
the Super 15 rugby competition on 4 and 11 March 4 following
the Christchurch AMI Stadium being deemed out of action
after Tuesday's devastating earthquake.
Nelson Mayor Aldo Miccio says, “Nelson City Council is once again able offer assistance by providing the Park free of charge to host both Crusaders games. I wish we could be hosting under different circumstances, but perhaps making sure the Crusaders can play a game of rugby will go some way toward giving Cantabrians a break for a few hours.”
The team will play the New South Wales Waratahs on 4 March and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Brumbies on 11 March. Both games will kick off at 7.35 pm.
