The 2008 Grand Final sides South Cairns and Cairns Saints will meet in the 2009 AFL Cairns XXXX Gold Preseason Competition Final at Cazalys Stadium on Saturday, 21st March 2009 after both comfortably winning their pools in the round robin competition yesterday.
Teams encountered overcast, humid conditions and brief showers at Cazalys Stadium and Watsons Oval as they contested their first hit outs for the season. Indications are good that the standard of football in the AFL Cairns competition will again be high.
All Clubs used the round robin format to trial new players, new plays and strategies and to gain an understanding of the opposition Clubs.
Results from Saturday, 14th March 2009 games were as follows:
Cazalys Stadium
Manunda Hawks 1.0 (6) def. by Cairns City Cobras 6.11 (47)
Cairns Saints 6.3 (39) def. Port Douglas 3.2 (20)
