Another draw for the Bulls
BOTH the Bulls Men and Women tied their matches over the weekend, leaving the Women sitting at third on the ladder and the Men at sixth.
The Men hosted the Edge Hill Tigers in Mareeba on Saturday night and saw a competitive game unfold. With both teams still scoreless as halftime approached, things started to heat up and as a result three yellow cards were issued before the break.
The first was given to Mareeba’s Lino Kairi, who was followed by the visiting teams’ Ryan Murray, and finally Mareeba’s Rick Cummings, who received one in the 45th minute. About 20 minutes into the second half, Mareeba’s Isaac Thompson received his team’s third yellow card.
Just minutes later, Edge Hill’s Travis Pershouse put one in the net for the first goal of the match. Not long after, however, Mareeba answered back with a goal of their own through Dylan Cummings. The game ended at 1-1.
The Bulls Women travelled down the hill to take on the Stratford Dolphins last Friday night and tied their match 3-3.
Stratford’s Daly Collis put one in the net just five minutes into the first half and she was followed by a fellow teammate in the 35th minute. Mareeba’s Blake Veschetti answered back just minutes later through a penalty goal to bring the score to 2-1 at halftime.
Ten minutes into the second half, Mareeba’s Shaquille Chong fired one into the net to level the scores at two goals apiece. A Stratford player then scored not long afterwards to edge their team ahead once again.
But, as the game ran down to the final 10 minutes, a Mareeba player scored a goal to even the scores. The game finished 3-3.
