After contrasting results in last week’s semi-finals of the Western Premier League soccer comp, second-placed Dubbo Bulls will now host Macquarie United in this Saturday’s Preliminary Final at Apex Oval.

Bulls left Bathurst with their tails well between their legs after imposing defending champions, Bathurst 75s, showed why they are Minor Premiers again this season defeating the Bulls 4-1.

In the other match at Apex oval, Orana Spurs were ruing some ill-discipline from a senior player, given a red card for an alleged head-butt against his Macquarie opponent.

Forced to then play with only 10 men for more than three-quarters of the game, they fell 4-0 against the young blue-and-white team that would have been disappointed not to have added more “nets” given the amount of shots they had on goal.

While it is terrific to see all three Dubbo teams in the finals this year, it’s uncertain if it will be the Bulls who are celebrating their 20th year, or the rejuvenated Macquarie heading to Bathurst on Saturday week.

The match will be live-streamed via the Western Premier League page.
