The "Oak Room" at the Millennium Hilton Hotel Saturday will televise live the match of this years Aussie Rules Grand Final starting 11.30 a.m.

Revered by many as one of the greatest games in the world, Aussie Rules (Australian Rules Football), sometimes known as 'footy' is a game unique to Australia that comes across a bit like rugby being played without the rules.

Essentially it is a football variant played on large oval shaped fields with four goal posts at each end.

Divided into four quarters, the primary aim of the game is to score goals by kicking the ball between the middle two posts of the opposing goal.

Aussie Rules is very popular spectator sport due to high physical contact, very high scoring games and hardly no stoppages in play. Games generally last for two hours.

This year's final sees the Hawks (Hawthorn) take on the Cats (Geelong).

Huge TV screens will screen the match live inside.

The outdoor area surrounded by trees will feature an Aussie BBQ (Australian Beef), plus gourmet buffet lunch, Aussie wines, cold beer and soft drinks.

The event starts at 11:30 a.m. and finishes at 5:00 p.m., with the actual game telecast starting at noon.

Entry fee for members and partners is 65,000 won and for non-members 75,000 won. This price includes the BBQ, buffet lunch and all drinks.

The evening will also feature auctions of sports items, raffles, lucky door prizes, best dress prize and a Winning Bet tipping competition

Bookings must be finalized by Thursday, September 25, at the very latest.
