Andrew Barr brings word that the ACT is shelling out $330,000 so the NSW Blues can play to an empty stadium in Canberra instead of in Sydney.
Canberra cricket fans will love today’s announcement that the NSW Blues will play one Shield match and one 50-over match in Canberra every year for the next three years.
The ACT Government has been working with Cricket ACT and Cricket NSW to bring these games to Canberra and has provided $330,000 to make it a reality.
Apparently this will increase our standing as the “sporting capital of Australia”.
