After a tough win on the road against the St. George Illawarra Dragons, the Parramatta Eels return home to Bankwest Stadium this Saturday afternoon for our Round 21 clash against the Newcastle Knights.
For the first time this year, all three grades will be in action at the same venue so we are encouraging all Blue & Gold Members to arrive to #PARRAdise nice and early and cheer on the boys for a great day of football!
Gates will open at 1.15pm, with the Jersey Flegg match between the Parramatta Eels and the Newcastle Knights kicking off at 1.30pm. Up next is the Canterbury Cup kicking off at 3.15pm, as the Wentworthville Magpies take on the Newcastle Knights before the NRL clash, kicking off at 5.30pm, when our Eels take on the Newcastle Knights.
We highly recommend Eels Members and fans arrive at the ground early on Saturday as we are anticipating a large crowd for our match against the Knights!
