Mrs SALLY QUINNELL (Camden) (19:43): There is no better place for footy than Camden, and there is no better captain on that pitch tonight than Teddy. The Plough & Harrow in Camden has changed its name to the Tedesco Inn in honour of James Tedesco, the great Blues captain. The Plough & Harrow will keep the name the Tedesco Inn from today until the final whistle of Game III of the State of Origin. The Tedesco Inn will be featuring the "Teddy Parmigiana" and 50 cents from every Toohey's schooner sold will go towards supporting the local junior football club, the Camden Rams.
The Plough & Harrow, a historic pub built in 1841 by Samuel Arnold, has supported the night-life and community of Camden for centuries. Although the furnishings may have changed, its mission—to provide a good feed and a great drink to an amazing community—has not. James Tedesco is a Camden local, having attended St Paul's in Camden and St Gregory's College in Campbelltown, playing junior football with the Camden Rams. He is well loved in the area and can often be seen leading young footballers on training and mentoring days. Go the Blues!
