Across town at Woree, the Redlynch Strikers will be going against the Southside Comets in Friday night’s women’s fixture.
Saturday’s fixtures kick off in the women’s’ cup, with the Mareeba Bulls returning to their home field against the Edge Hill Tigers.
A replay of last season’s grand final, the men’s fixture has the Mareeba Bulls hosting the Leichhardt Lions.
Saturday night’s match on Walker Road has the Stratford Dolphins taking on the Redlynch Strikers, with both teams welcoming new coaches, to the wheel, Pasco Rogato for the Dolphins, and Justin Smith for the Strikers.
