THE Mareeba Bulls Premier Men’s have recorded back-to-back losses after going down 4-0 against reigning champions, the Edge Hill Tigers on Saturday night in front of a home crowd at Lindsay Stadium.
The Bulls have remained competitive throughout the season and managed to slip into second for a time however their recent match again Edge Hill put a stop to their climb.
It was a tough game for the home side however they remained in the contest for the fi rst 45 minutes and only conceded one goal.
During the half-time break coach Kane Alderton attempted to encourage his players for another good run however they mentally “stayed in the dressing room” and another two quick goals by the Tigers sealed the deal.
“The first half we were one nil down but for the first 45 I thought we competed, but that final third let us down,” Alderton said.
“It was a shame because at the start of the second half we stayed in the dressing room, in the first 10 minutes they scored two goals and that just killed us.
“We spoke at halftime about what we needed to do and move forward and stay in the game but those two goals cost us.”
The Bulls will now face off against Innisfail at home on Saturday with kick off for the Premier Men’s at 7pm.
