📅 Important Date Changes

There has been a slight adjustment to the season start:

• First Match: Saturday, 2 May.

• Why the change? While the calendar previously listed 25 April, Football Qld has advised that no matches can be played before 1:30 PM on Anzac Day. Consequently, all MiniRoos (including Calves) have been moved to Saturday, 2 May.
