LOCAL Rugby League team The Wolfpack have polished off their boots and are ready to take to their new home ground at Eldorado Centennial Park this Sunday, May 12.

This will officially be their first hosting home game of the 2024 Storm Goulburn Murray Premiership season.

After locking their eyes on Eldorado in 2022, dedicated committee members in conjunction with Matt Bowman and the committee of management at Centennial Park have put in the hard yards and around the clock work to get the ground game ready for this weekend.

The Wolfpack president Ivy Higgins said it will be a massive opening day for The Wolfpack who will be hosting four senior matches including two ladies league tag and two men’s tackle, alongside the introduction of juniors to the competition.

“After a long wait, we are excited to bring Rugby League to Eldorado," Ms Higgins said.

"We wouldn’t have gotten this far without the kindness and support the committee of management have shown us.

"It'll be a jam-packed Mother’s Day round with prizes and raffles to be won on the day.

"We as a club have been preparing for what will be one of the club's biggest days to date and it is certainly not one to be missed.”

The presence of The Wolfpack matches is expected to bring hundreds of rugby players and followers to the small local community in what will be a family friendly country footy gala day.

Gates open from 9am and the canteen and bar will follow.

Entry is $5 for 16 years and over, free under 16. No BYO alcohol permitted.
