Seagulls Clinch Third Straight Win!! |

Sunday, 28 June 2009 |

 WYNNUM Manly is fast becoming the Queensland Cup’s ‘wet track specialist’ after emerging from yet another mud bath with a comfortable victory. A week after beating Redcliffe 24-6 on a wet BMD Kougari Oval, the Seagulls again had to drag their legs through a heavy surface in Saturday’s crucial round 15 clash against the Norths Devils at Bishop Park."
The Comets game was probably the last time we played in the dry," said Wynnum Manly coach Shane McNally, whose team picked up its third straight win with a 26-18 victory over the Devils.

Preview Rd 15 Seagulls v Devils |
|
Friday, 26 June 2009 |
|
Saturday, June 27 @ Bishop Park 3pm
* A critical game for both teams - the winner could end up as high as fifth and the loser as low as 11th.
* Head-to-Head: Norths 14; Wynnum 10; Drawn 2
This shapes as make or break for both teams. The Seagulls are coming off two impressive wins against quality opposition and the Devils were beaten in their last start against Burleigh. Injuries continue to plague the Wynnum Manly Club with Currie, Muckert and Bain still on the sidelines but they have had to overcome these obstacles all season. The result will certainly provide each team with a clear indication of their semi final hopes. |

 Considering the weather it was a pretty good crowd that turned out at Kougari Oval to see the BMD Wynnum Manly Seagulls get the clean sweep in all grades against the Redcliffe Dolphins. It wasn’t enough though to retain the Herald Cup falling 8 points short of winning the trophy. The two competition points were more important at this stage of the season and it was a very dominant performance to back the good win over the Comets. We are still suffering a few injuries with Darren Bain and Chris Muckert sidelined for a short period and Chris Currie out of action for possibly the remainder of the season. We have the depth to cover them and hopefully we can continue the roll this weekend at Bishop Park.

Gulls Take Points But Miss Herald Cup |
|
Monday, 22 June 2009 |
|
 WYNNUM Manly grabbed the all-important two competition points and very nearly snatched the Herald Cup from under Redcliffe’s nose at BMD Kougari Oval today. Needing to win by 26 points to retain the Herald Cup, the Seagulls gave their army of loyal supporters hope when they shot out to a commanding 18 point lead after 60 minutes.
Two more tries in the final 20 minutes on a wet track would have pulled off rugby league’s version of mission impossible. But no more points were scored in the scrappy last quarter, paving the way for the Dolphins to win back the Herald Cup despite a 24-6 loss to their fierce rivals.
One of the highlights of the day was the appearance of Andrew Symonds (pictured) who played in the Men's Health Week Allstar game for Wynnum Manly. This action shot by Scott Morris shows him in action about to be tackled by former Melbourne Storm star Marcus Bai playing for he Men of League Allstars. Visit the photo gallery for more great shots from the Allstar game and the Herald Cup clash.
