Parramatta to host Women’s Origin series opener

Parramatta’s CommBank Stadium will come alive on Thursday night with the Women’s State of Origin to be played at the venue.

The Blues and Maroons will clash in game one of the two-game series, with a big crowd expected to be on hand.

There is no NRL fixture on Thursday night, giving the Women’s Origin fixture a spot on prime time TV – with both Channel Nine and Fox Sports to broadcast the match.

The likes of Jessica Sergis, Jesse Southwell, Kezie Apps and Millie Boyle will line-up for the Blues, captained by Isabelle Kelly.

The Maroons boast a range of stars including Tamika Upton and veteran captain Ali Brigginshaw.

The match will kick-off at 7.45pm and will be referred by Adam Gee. Tickets are still available through Ticketek.
