Mitch Cronin Cup On The Line This Sunday

BMD Kougari Oval will be rocking once more as the Seagulls take on the Souths Logan Magpies this Sunday at 2:10pm.

Both teams will play for the Mitch Cronin Cup, in memory of the former player of both clubs, who passed away during the covid period as a Seagulls player.

Always a memorable, emotion-filled day, the number 9 jerseys from both teams will be retired for the day to honour Mitch.

Seagulls supporters will be out in force to get our boys back on track after a mid-season hiccup.

Souths are coming off a game-winning field goal against the Tigers and will be buoyed some returning NRL talent, ensuring a great game of football.

Gates will open at 1:30pm, with kick off at 2:10pm.

Our gameday sponsors for Round 17 are Bartons Motor Group and Jayco Brisbane Camperland, who have put a fantastic prize up for grabs.

Every adult that comes through the gates of BMD Kougari Oval will receive a ticket into the halftime draw. We’ll pick one ticket out on field at halftime, with the winner able to take a car from Bartons and a caravan from Jayco away for the weekend!

So make sure you come down to watch the game on Sunday and collect your raffle ticket at the entry gate!

The game will also be broadcast for free on Kayo Freebies, 9Now and QPlus.tv as this weekend’s feature match.

Top Of The Table Clash

This Sunday we welcome the Burleigh Bears to BMD Kougari Oval for a top of the table clash.

A perennial Hostplus Cup powerhouse, the Bears have proven hard to beat for the Seagulls in recent years, including our preliminary final loss at Burleigh in 2023.

However, the Seagulls 2024 squad has a lot of fresh faces and has been playing a great style of football upto this point in the season.

Despite a couple of season-ending injuries to Broncos-contracted Delouise Hoeter and new recruit Tony Tumusa, coach Mathew Head and his staff have navigated the depth of their squad well so far.

Sunday will provide a great test for the Seagulls, and our boys have kept on eye on this game for a number of weeks.

This match will also be broadcast for free on Kayo Freebies, Channel 9Now and QPlus.tv for anyone that can’t make it to the game.

Down at BMD Kougari Oval on Sunday, we’ll have our full range of merchandise available, including our brand new hoodies, as well as a jumping castle for the kids.

Our gameday sponsor Place Estate Agents Gumdale and Manly will also be there to show their support for the Seagulls.

Tickets are available at the gate on the day for what promises to be a high standard of rugby league.

See you there!

Flockbuster This Sunday + Mal Meninga Finals

BMD Wynnum Manly Seagulls are making the trip down to Tweed for a battle of the two Seagulls teams this Sunday.

While our Mal Meninga Cup team take on the Burleigh Bears in the semi final of the competition as they look to continue their great form.

The Flockbuster is back this Sunday at Piggabeen Sports Complex, Tweed Heads, as our Hostplus Cup and BMD Premiership teams head down the coast.

Our joint partner McDonalds has dubbed this clash the ‘Battle of the Fries’, and both clubs will be looking to fight their way further up the ladder.

Tweed are coming off a 50-12 win over the Tigers in the Hostplus Cup, while their BMD Premiership squad contains a host of NRLW stars, such as Jamie Chapman.

Wynnum Manly face a couple of tough games at Tweed, but are certainly up for the opportunity to bounce back in both competitions.

The Mal Meninga Cup semi final takes place at Burleigh on Saturday at 12:30pm.

Wynnum Manly won 6 of our final 7 games to finish 6th on the ladder. And we’ll take on 3rd place Burleigh for a spot in the preliminary final the following week.

 

Seagulls Off To Townsville For Round 12

Our Hostplus Cup and Hastings Deering Colts teams will make the trip up north to Townsville tomorrow to face the Blackhawks.

Both coming off a win against Tweed, who were flying high in both competitions, our Seagulls will be looking to continue their good form and climb the ladder.

As our second longest away trip, Townsville always pose a threat and have been particularly strong in the Colts competition for a number of years.

This is an important game for both of our teams at the halfway point of the season.

Seagulls vs PNG Hunters

Round 10 of the Hostplus Cup will see the Papua New Guinea Hunters visit BMD Kougari Oval on Saturday at 3pm. Our Premier Partner, George Hartnett Metropolitan Funerals will present this gameday to show their support for the local community.

After causing an upset of the Seagulls last year on our home turf, the Hunters will be confident of repeating that result given the exciting talent that runs through their team.

The BMD Wynnum Manly Seagulls will be looking to kickstart the middle period of the season after coming off the bye last weekend.

The Hunters always pose a physically tough challenge, and will compete until the very end of the game.

Given the Seagulls up and down start to the year, this is a great opportunity to show our supporters how good we can be.

With our Hastings Deering Colts on the bye this weekend, we have invited the Redlands Junior rugby league club to provide two teams for a once in a lifetime pre-game experience.

King Wally Lewis will coach these two Redlands Juniors teams in a practice game before Hostplus Cup kickoff, giving back to his local community and inspiring the next generation of QLD superstars.

Then at halftime, GHM Funerals will offer 3 lucky supporters the chance to walk away from the game with a $100 voucher and a signed ball. All you have to do to be selected is wear your Seagulls supporter gear and look out for our Seagulls mascot as he walks around the ground in the first half!

Rivalry Round at Redcliffe

This Sunday, the Seagulls will take 4 teams to Redcliffe for some big matches against the Dolphins.

Our Hostplus Cup match against our biggest rival is the feature broadcast match at 2:10pm. This will be shown live on Kayo Freebies and will also be available for free on QPlus.tv.

Traditionally a close-fought and well-supported match, this is the first time in a few years that this Rivalry Round clash won’t be at BMD Kougari Oval. Although we will host the Dolphins at home on 25 June.

This is an important game against a strong opponent, especially now with their affiliation to the NRL’s Dolphins. It is also a chance for the Seagulls to maintain their excellent start to the season and head into the Easter break on top.

In addition to the Hostplus Cup match, our U16s, U18s and U19s will all take the field earlier in the day.

Our Cyril Connell U16s and Harvey Norman U19s will play the final game of their seasons, as there is no finals football for these competitions.

Our Mal Meninga U18s will come up against the Dolphins, with both sides sitting at the top of their pool and heading for a semi final the following week, likely against each other.

On Saturday, our BMD Premiership team will get the Seagulls underway against Brisbane Tigers at Leo Williams Oval (Carina Juniors). Following a strong win last week, our girls will be ready to repeat the performance and march up the ladder.

This is an exciting weekend of football for the Seagulls before the Easter break, with full details below.

Iona College to Host Seagulls This Saturday

Iona College, Premier Partner of the BMD Wynnum Manly Seagulls, will play host to our Round 2 matches of the Hostplus Cup and BMD Premiership this Saturday afternoon.

In a free event for all, the Seagulls will take on both the Norths Devils and the Ipswich Jets across two games on a great day for the community.

The Seagulls and Iona College have a longstanding relationship, with many Iona students wearing the red and green on the football field. We share common values and strive to be the best we can be, while giving back to our community that supports us.

This day is a celebration of our partnership, but also an event that allows the Bayside community to watch two high quality rugby league matches for free, and to see what Iona College has to offer their students and surrounding community.

In collaboration with Iona, we have produced a commemorative jersey to wear on Saturday that reflects elements of both organisations. Seagulls representatives were invited to Iona College school assembly to show the jersey and present it to Principal Goodwin.

We will have raffle prizes, merchandise, canteen and the travelling ‘Chook Pen’ on the hill. Everyone is welcome!
