Theme: Onesie Party
Match Day Hashtags: #OnesieParty #WarriorsHome
It’s time to get those onesies out again for the Vodafone Warriors’ second annual #OnesieParty at Mount Smart Stadium tomorrow (June 27). Everyone got right into the spirit for last year’s first mid-winter onesie bash so make sure you come along dressed for the occasion to not only back your team against Canberra but to also support a good cause. It’s all about Jammies in June, the Kidz First Children’s Hospital campaign which raises awareness of keeping warm in winter. For more information on Jammies in June click HERE.
The match launches an intensive programme which sees the Vodafone Warriors playing five of their next six games at home.
Two milestone achievements are set to provide a key highlight with Vodafone Warriors prop Jacob Lillyman in line to make his 200th career appearance and second rower Bodene Thompson his 100th. In his seventh season with the Vodafone Warriors, Lillyman will make his 138th appearance for the club after earlier playing 62 times for North Queensland. Thompson is in his first season with the Vodafone Warriors after previously representing Gold Coast and Wests Tigers.
