Bulls brighten black friday

The XXXX Queensland Bulls final home ING Cup game might fall on Friday the 13th but the match will spell good fortune for another champion team - the Queensland Institute of Medical Research.

The QIMR is selling tickets donated by Queensland Cricket in the lead-up to the game against the Western Warriors on Friday night at the Gabba.

Funds raised from the venture and by collectors at the match will raise funds for vital research into cures, vaccines, treatments and screening tests for more than 30 life threatening diseases including cancer, infectious diseases and clinical diseases.

The dollars raised will enhance the wonderful work done by QIMR's 800 scientists.

The Bulls will have a tour of the QIMR facilities from 11.30am and then visit patients in the nearby Royal Children's Hospital tomorrow as part of their build-up to Friday's must-win match, which will also be Stuart Law's final one-day game at the Gabba.

The Bulls are third in the ING Cup with two matches remaining, one point behind second-placed Victoria, while the Warriors are the competition leaders.

Tickets for Friday's match can be purchased from the QIMR on 3362 0222.
