Even though the Intrust Super Cup season has been cancelled for the 2020 season, it was great to see some our players back on the field during the first round of the Brisbane Rugby League A Grade competition over the weekend.
Many Devils ISC players and players who have previously trained with our squad featured amongst our two affiliate teams Valleys Diehards and West Brisbane Panthers who both recorded wins.
