Countdown to game day

MEDIA RELEASE 24 April 2023

The Penrith Panthers will arrive in Bathurst on Thursday 27 April ahead of the clash with the Wests Tigers at Carrington Park on Saturday 29 April at 7.35pm.

Mayor Robert Taylor said strong ticket sales in the lead up to Saturday’s clash should see a big crowd at Carrington Park for game day.

"To date, we’ve sold more than 8,600 tickets, our best pre-game day sales to date. It is shaping up to be a great day on Saturday evening as the Panthers and Tigers take to the ground at 7.35pm.

“A range of community fixtures will take place to support the match with the Peachy Richardson Shield being played on Thursday at the St Pat’s rugby league fields and the Play like a Panther coaching clinic brought to you by Westfund at George Park on Thursday afternoon.

“On Friday, the Sportsman’s Lunch will be held at Panthers Bathurst. The lunch includes a question and answer session with Panthers Coach Ivan Cleary, and co-captains Nathan Cleary and Isaah Yeo which is a great opportunity to get an insight into the Panthers 2023 season.” Cr Taylor said.
