The Bulls would like to share their sincere condolences following the passing of former Bull Gary “Cigars” Matthew.

Gary was player #770 for the club and was with our First Grade side for a number of seasons in the 1990s. Not only was a great player but was also very supportive of the development of younger players throughout the club.

Rest in Peace Gary.
