State Of Origin - Game 1
The first 2013 State Of Origin match between the Queensland Maroons and the NSW Blues will be held at Sydney's ANZ Stadium at 8:00pm tonight.

This means tonight's match should be really great, edge-of-the-seat footy that's well worth watching. Naturally, South Burnett footy fans will be glued to TV screens around the region. But several local pubs and clubs will also be getting into the State Of Origin spirit tonight with big screen telecasts if you'd prefer to share the experience with other fans. Venues you can drop into to watch tonight's game include:- • The Commercial Hotel in Glendon Street, Kingaroy
- • The Carrollee Hotel in King Street, Kingaroy
- • The Tingoora Hotel on the Bunya Highway at Tingoora
