Hamilton Scores Exclusive Game This
September!
The 2011 ANBL champion SKYCITY Breakers have confirmed their only North Island pre-season game will be at Claudelands Arena in Hamilton on Saturday September 15th against Australia’s Wollongong Hawks.
The Breakers are to visit Hamilton with their full playing roster of stars including Tom Abercrombie, CJ Bruton, Dillon Boucher, Mika Vukona and Daryl Corletto – all of who have re-signed with the Breakers for another season.
“This will be our final full on pre-season game before the new campaign and, as an important build up for the new season, fans will be in for a treat” said General Manager Richard Clarke. “We are delighted to be returning to the impressive Claudelands Arena after a fantastic event last year. We see this venue as one of New Zealand’s finest and we know the team has a huge fan base in this region”.
Breakers point guard CJ Bruton
agrees “Of all the venues we play in Australia
and New Zealand this is one of our favourites. The design of
the arena brings the fans right up close to the action and
we love it this way... plus the court is great and we always
get an awesome reception from the fans”
Demand for tickets to this pre-season tour finale
will be huge following the Breakers recent NBL success and
sold out NZ games in which full houses have set a crowd
attendance record for basketball in New Zealand.
Claudelands Director of Business
Development and Marketing Murray Jeffrey
said “We are proud and excited to welcome the Breakers
back to Claudelands Arena in 2012 for another exciting
trans-Tasman face-off against the Wollongong Hawks. The
last match proved the level of demand in the Waikato for
events of this calibre, and with the strong local support
for basketball and the Breakers, we are expecting tickets to
sell out. Once again, local sports fans have the chance to
witness one of NZ’s finest sports teams in what is sure to
be world class basketball - so don’t miss
out”!
