Ipswich Trial Match Confirmed
Following an approach from the Gold Coast Titans earlier this month, the Canberra Raiders have locked in a third pre-season trial match, with 2008 season preparations set to begin on Saturday 16 February 2008 in Ipswich.
Raiders Football Manager David Sharpe today confirmed the trial and stated, "The Raiders are happy to accommodate a late request from the NRL's newest franchise, the Gold Coast Titans, as it provides Head Coach Neil Henry with a great opportunity to look at the young players in our system."
In what promises to be a great afternoon of Rugby League, the Ipswich Jets will host four matches at Briggs Road Sporting Complex with the Titans v Raiders main game likely to kick off at about 7.15pm.
Ipswich Jets CEO, Brad Wolens, this afternoon said, "I am waiting to hear back from QRL officials about Extreme Heat Measures before actually determining game kick off times."
