Dates to note

• Anzac Day (25 April): Round 2 falls on Anzac Day, a chance to pause and remember together as a club.
• Sir Doug Nicholls Round (23 May): This round celebrates the contribution of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to our game. It’s a special round for the Bullants, so keep an eye out for more details closer to the date.
• Round Robins and Lightning Premiership: Our Under 8s (16 May), Under 9s (23 May) and Under 10s (8 August) each have their own special day in the season.
• Mid-year break: There’s no footy on 13 June (King’s Birthday weekend) or over the first two weekends of the school holidays (27 June and 4 July), so it’s a good time to book that family getaway.

Fixtures, times and venues for each team will be shared once the League releases them. In the meantime, save the dates and get ready for another big season of Bullants footy!

Go Bullants! 🐜
