    Wellington hospitality venues are prepare for another big sporting weekend

    Wellington hospitality venues are prepare for another big sporting weekend


    A crowd of over 20-thousand's expected to watch Welsh football team Wrexham take on the Phoenix at Sky Stadium tonight.

    The focus switches to basketball tomorrow, with the Wellington Saints taking on Southland in a sold out NBL final.

    Local restaurant Ernesto's owner Steve Drummond, says the Saints tend to bring in a bit more of a corporate crowd compared to football and rugby.

    He says having big games on is a huge boost in trade
