GIANTS Riverina Road Trip to roll into Wagga Wagga in February 2025

Published: 20 Dec 2024 9:05am

The GIANTS are delighted to confirm the return of their Riverina Road Trip in 2025, with the club today (20 December 2024) confirming the details of two pre-season matches in the region.

The club will return for the second year in a row to host pre-season games and community engagement in both Griffith and Wagga Wagga from 6 - 9 February 2025.

Joining the GIANTS this year will be last year’s grand finalist the Melbourne Vixens.

The two teams will battle it out in two friendly matches, with the first match to be held at the Griffith Regional Sports Centre on Friday 7 February at 6.45pm.

The second game will be played at the Wagga Wagga Multi-Purpose Stadium on Sunday 9 February at 12pm.

Wagga Wagga boasts a thriving netball community with more than 1700 participants.

Alongside the on-court action, the GIANTS will also participate in an array of community activity in both towns including clinics and school visits.

“We’re thrilled to confirm the return of our Riverina Road Trip in 2025 and return to both Griffith and Wagga Wagga once again,” said GIANTS Netball General Manager of Community and Events, Kristina Genovese-Jones.

"The support we received during our visit last year was truly overwhelming and we’re beyond excited to reconnect with both of these incredible netball communities once again.

"As a club driven by strong community values, we jump at any opportunity to take our game and showcase our club outside metropolitan Sydney.

“This road trip will be a great chance for our fans and the local netball communities to meet our players and coaching staff and get an exclusive preview of our team ahead of the upcoming Suncorp Super Netball season.”

Mayor of the City of Wagga Wagga Councillor Dallas Tout welcomed the announcement about the date and ticketing details for the game at the city’s Multi-Purpose Stadium at the Wagga Wagga Exhibition Centre.

“This is an exciting opportunity for residents of our city and the surrounding area to catch what should be a great game of elite netball in our own backyard, so to speak,” Cr Tout said.

“Going by the strong turnout to GIANTS’ sell-out pre-season game here in March this year, I think the tickets for the game on 9 February will be snapped up quickly, so make sure you’re ready to book your seat court-side when they go on sale early in the new year!”

Tickets to both matches will go on sale on Friday 10 January at 10am with 2025 GIANTS Netball members able to access an exclusive priority ticketing window.
