The South Dubbo Wanderers were happy to make the Bulls work for their win on the weekend, and the Bulls were more than happy for some hard work to keep them in form this late in the season.

"It was a pretty fast game, probably one of the most end to end games we've played in a few weeks," Bulls FC coach Jason Schink said.
The Bulls score four goals and were almost able to keep the Wanderers scoreless outside of a lapse in defence.
"It's hard to single out anyone after a performance like that, the whole team was really on for the full ninety minutes, we were probably unlucky to just walk away with four goals, but four's still a decent number to have," Schink said.
"Coby Rapley put in one of the best performances, he runs the midfield, he covers a lot of ground, he was all over the place for us and that was good."
The 4 - 1 result keeps the Bulls in good stead ahead of what could potentially be a bruising encounter with rivals Macquarie United this weekend, but the Bulls aren't letting the pressure get to them.

It's not too bad, we've got a big test this weekend against Macquarie, they're second on the table and they caught us out in the second half last time and they caught us," Schink said.
"We dominated the first half and they snuck in during the second half so it was good to get a workout before that."
According to Schink, the competition's focus is still around his Bulls, Macquarie United and the Orana Spurs.
"Yeah, I think it is still us and them, I'm not really sure who's sitting in fourth at the moment, the Spurs are a bit off form at the moment, but come semis they can beat anyone, the other two teams are maybe a bit young."
With a lot of minutes still to be played between now and the finals, the Bulls aren't looking to make any big changes in the season's final stanza.
"We're sort of running the same approach as last year where we don't take the regular season or the minor premiership too serious."
"Last year we finished third and ended up winning back to back finals, we have the team to win it all again, it's just about how we approach it and not getting complacent."
