Lights, action for Bulls
THE lights will be shining at Borzi Park on Friday night as the 2025 Football Queensland Premier League season kicks off, with the Mareeba Bulls Ladies team to host Leichhardt at home for their first match.
The Mareeba Bulls men’s side will also have their first hit out this Saturday night at Trinity Beach when they take on the Marlin Coast Rangers.
Women’s coach Christian Mukadi is optimistic about his young squad’s attacking potential and hopes the first match will yield a victory.
“It’s a great opening game. We played well against Stratford in the cup, and I’m just hoping our attack will click and we can score some goals,” he said.
The action will start at 7pm.
On Saturday night, the men’s team will begin their campaign on the road against the Rangers and the squad is keen to put in a strong performance away from home.
Coach Victor Madrid acknowledged the challenge of facing the reigning premiers in the Bulls’ opening match but emphasised that the team were prepared for the test.
“We are looking forward to it. It’s a tough opening game, but a great opportunity to see where we are at,” he said.
The Mareeba Bulls hosted a season launch on Friday night, where around 70 sponsors, life members, committee members, and players came together to welcome the new season for the men’s and women’s QPL teams.
The night was a celebration of the club’s strong community support and excitement for the challenges ahead. Fans are encouraged to come out and support their teams.
