Bond University trump Tyler Campbell is quietly confident that the Bull Sharks ran rattle favourites Wests in Sunday’s StoreLocal Hospital Cup minor semi-final.
Wests and Bond Uni will meet at 12:35pm at Sunnybank Rugby club in the knockout semi before Brothers and Easts clash in the major semi-final at 3:10pm.
While Wests’ 11-game winning streak has branded them the hottest team in the competition, the Bull Sharks have gone on their own upbeat run.
The Bull Sharks’ 60-26 win over Norths last weekend was their sixth victory in a row as they roared home to lock up fourth spot.
“There is an excellent vibe at the club this season and the run of wins has definitely built our confidence,” Campbell said.
“It’s the first time that firsts and seconds have both made finals which shows the club is heading in a strong direction.
“We know Wests have a big side with fast backs but we are also confident in the strengths we have built.
“Someone like (fullback) Tai Dowling has been brilliant for us since he returned from Japan.”
In the StoreLocal Founders Cup for women, unbeaten Wests will meet Bond University at 5:15pm on Sunday in the major semi-final while Sunnybank and Easts will kick-off at 10:55am.
