2005 International Cup Draw & Schedule

The 2005 Australian Football International Cup Draw & Schedule…
The Australian Football League has confirmed the draw for the 2005 Australian Football International Cup. The grounds and timetable for matches has also been released. As reported earlier, the grand final is to be played at the MCG, and the series also includes a round of matches at a country venue, Wangaratta, about 235 km northeast of Melbourne, Australia. Hopefully with such a unique event and some local promotion, a big crowd will turn out for the regional matches.
