GWM Game Day: Friday night lights turned on again
Another footy fun fest in front of a monster crowd is locked in for the One New Zealand Warriors’ second edition of a Friday night lights game day at Go Media Stadium this week (match day sponsor: NZME).
It follows a memorable night last week featuring superb wins for the Warriors’ NRL and New South Wales Cup sides, farewelling club legend Tohu Harris and loads of game day entertainment including a fireworks show.
Football will have a double focus again this Friday night as the Warriors host the Roosters in the third round of both the NSW Cup (5.15pm kick-off) and the NRL (8.00pm kick-off)
The second-round NRL battle against the Sydney Roosters promises to be a classic after the Warriors and the Roosters stormed to stunning wins last week, the Warriors impressive in their 36-16 victory over the Sea Eagles and the Roosters shocking Penrith 38-32.
Following the NSW Cup match, it will Persil Junior Footy (6.55pm), time for kids to have some fun.

And, as always, there’ll be fun, activities and ample food and refreshment offerings around the stadium, especially in the GWM Fan Zone just beneath the big screen.
