Seagulls ISC coach Aaron Zimmerle has selected the same 18 players that travelled to Mackay last weekend for Sunday’s historic battle of the Gulls which will be played on North Stradbroke Island.

However, the squad to play Wynnum-Manly is certainly subject to change with Titans’ selections for their Friday night clash with Sydney Roosters including Eddy Pettybourne and Karl Lawton as numbers 19 and 20 in an extended squad while the fitness Kurt Bernard and utility forward Morgan Boyle’s fitness will be checked with both hoping to be fine to play.

The match will be played on Sunday at Ron Stark Oval with a kick-off of 12.40pm (Qld time) and the game being televised live by Channel 9.

Both teams will arrive on the island on Saturday morning and will conduct coaching clinics in the afternoon before settling into their accommodation.

The clash is being taken to North Straddie in whole-of-game promotional activity and a wonderful community initiative by the two Seagulls clubs, Wynnum and Tweed, Redlands City Council, Deadly Choices and Stradbroke Ferries to promote Stradbroke Island as a holiday destination and the game of rugby league.

Please note that the FOGS Colts Cup (under-20s) and Mal Meninga Cup (under-18s) matches have been switched to Southport seniors’ ground, Owen Park, on Sunday.

The under-18s will kick-off at 11am, followed by the under-20s at 12.35pm. Both teams are unbeaten after two rounds and play a great style of football.
