Round One Preview

Thursday, 25 March 2010

INSPIRATIONAL captain Brett Kitching will be one of just four survivors in the squad from Bundaberg Toyota Spirit’s disastrous last campaign when they kick off the new Hyundai Queensland State League season against North Queensland Razorbacks at home this Saturday night.

Fellow club foundation player Shane Youngberry, tough competitor Elliot Causer and young gun Arian Dubroy also remain on their 15-player roster which has been bolstered by the returns of 2008 stars Laurie Stephenson, Lucas Read, Aaron Bakker and Tom Kimber.

Sadler To Miss Bulls Homecoming

Friday, 12 March 2010

Former Far North Queensland Bulls player Rylan Sadler looks likely to miss out on the opportunity to wear the colours of the Brisbane Strikers against his old club this Saturday, with injury keeping him out of the squad to travel to Mareeba for a pre-season friendly.

Brisbane Strikers coach Stuart McLaren said today that the fullback, who played the first half against the Capricorn Cougars in the 3-3 draw last Friday, had picked up a slight hamstring strain and the weekend would “arrive too soon” for Sadler, who had been keen to return home for the game.
