Bulls take down Leichhardt

THE Mareeba Bulls have opened their 2022 season with a bang, going up 2-1 against the Leichhardt Lions in Cairns on Saturday night in the Australia Cup.

Coach Kane Alderton said it was a good physical game against the Lions and a perfect chance for the boys to shake out some cobwebs. 

After being two nil 10 minutes before full time, the Lions stuck back to get the score to 2-1 and fought hard for the equalising goal. 

“It was probably their first true hit out for the squad – the effort and commitment were definitely there,” he said. 

“It was a good hard game, physical game – we were two nil up with 10 to 15 minutes to go and they got one back. 

“So that last 5 10 minutes they were really pressing to get that equaliser and we withstood that pressure and ended up with the win.”
