Multiplex Bulls Ready for AFL Middle East Assault

The new AFL Middle East 2016/17 season is now only weeks away and the Multiplex Bulls have already thrown down a gauntlet to make this season their own. After entering the competition just two seasons ago they have twice reached the AFL Middle East Grand Final and twice the pre-season tournament. Only last season did they taste victory in any of those grand finals, most recently going down to the Dubai Dragons in last season’s finale.

But, according to the club, that is all about to change.

“The Bulls are looking really strong with great support from our sponsors again and the Bulls community continues to move from strength to strength. We have heaps of new recruits, with quite a few “Poms” wanting to have a crack.”

“Training has been going since August in some pretty horrid conditions with the humidity and heat. We have been getting good numbers down to training.”

“The Bulls are looking to go back to back for the preseason cup and are pushing harder than ever to go one better for the premiership season.”

“The Bulls have been rebranded to the Multiplex Bulls for this season to align with our platinum sponsor” with slight changes to logos and strip to reflect that change.

With the Dubai Dragons in the midst of a mighty dynastical era, having won four of the past five AFL Middle east premierships, teams are working harder than ever to bring an end to that period of dominance. The Bulls certainly believe they can be the new heir to that throne.

The AFL Middle East draw for the upcoming season is yet to be finalised, but will be announced shortly. All teams are in full training, despite the heat of summer blowing in from the deserts, and are raring to go for a new season of battle.
