Why Join?

Established in 1958 as a foundation club of the Cairns Australian Football League, Centrals Trinity Beach Bulldogs has a proud history spanning over 6 decades and has celebrated 12 senior premierships.  With the appointment of Football operations manager, Mark Perkins, the football side of the Bulldogs club is fast becoming a strong and secure business entity. The skills, experience and connections of the Football Manager have enabled the attraction of quality players to Centrals Trinity Beach Bulldogs and AFL Cairns, lifting standards within the competition to levels not seen before. 

The last few years have seen all Centrals Trinity Beach Bulldogs Senior teams compete in the finals series, with the reserves side taking out the premiership trophy in 2022. In addition to this, Bulldogs players from the Seniors, Reserves and Colts teams have received numerous accolades by AFL Cairns including taking out the Crathern Medal, Troy Clarke Rising Star, Goal of the year and numerous nominees for Team of the year.

Centrals Trinity Beach Bulldogs continue to build on this through the recruitment of significant talent for key roles within the playing group, updated facilities, a growing member base, and a great club culture.
