The Bull Sharks have been dealt a blow with the loss of Wallaroos Madi Schuck and Eva Karpani for Sundayโ€™s Queensland Premier Rugby Grand Final against Easts at Balllymore Stadium.

The girls from Bond University will be aiming for a history making premiership three-peat while our Third Grade will be playing for their first cup in their Grand Final against Brothers.  

Premier Women 

Bond v Easts at Ballymore. 

Last time they met:

Round 16, 2024 at Easts Rugby Union Club. 

Bull Sharks won 24-19.

The opposition:

Easts are a very physical team with plenty of representative players and a lot of experience, especially in their forward pack. They are tough up front.  

Shuffling the magnets:

The loss of Wallaroos front rowers Eva Karpani and Madi Schuck has been a big blow. We welcome back USA Eagles front rower Charli Jacoby. The rest of the squad remains relatively unchanged.

Ones to watch:

Jemma Bemrose and the back three combination of Eva Doblo, Dianne Waight and Amahli Hala will be key players for us this weekend. 

The focus: 

Dianne Waight
Dianne Waight will be a key player 

It is simple, victory.

The final word:

It's going to be a tough battle in the heat, but we look forward to the challenge and will hopefully come away with the Grand Final win that we have worked all year for.
