Bulls abandon match due to player injury
THE Mareeba Bulls premier mens abandoned their recent match against the Redlynch Strikers in Redlynch, with one of their players suffering a broken wrist on Friday night.
The Bulls managed to play through the first half in a competitive game with the scores being all tied up at 1-1 at half-time. However just five minutes after half-time, the game came to an abrupt stop with one of the Bulls breaking their wrist after challenging a ball.
The game is due to be replayed but no date has been set.
The premier ladies did not fare much better in their match-up against the Leichhardt Lions on Friday night in Cairns, going down 3-0. Despite the score, coach Marcello Savaglio said the ladies were still competitive and the lions capitalised on three of the Bull’s mistakes. “We lost a bunch of players before the game which sort of unsettled the team although we still performed – we were still pretty competitive,” he said. “It was just three mistakes and they scored three times.”
The ladies will now play their third consecutive away game this time, facing off against Edge Hill in Cairns.
