“We’re extremely proud to support regional clubs through the Community Play program and continue to grow the sport at a grassroots level,” ANZ Managing Director Retail Distribution Catriona Noble said.

“These clubs have shown great dedication to the sport and we’re thrilled to be able to invite them to enjoy the 2019 Australian Open.”
