blast from the past in brisbane

[Anita Bath]

Valleys meet west panthers tomorrow in the Brisbane league final. Thats a rivalry with a long history. Both had surprise away wins in last weekends prelim finals.

 

Then another long standing rivalry in the Queensland final on Sunday, Norths v Wynnum Manly.  Cam smith was interviewed about his time at Norths and recalled haw he told his dad, a big Wynnum fan, that Melbourne were sending him to play in the Q after signing for them. That fantastic, said his dad, provided its not Norths!

Valleys 20 Panthers 18 with a converted try 2 mins from end thanks to a dubious penalty 10 yards from the try line.

”the champion valley diehards, the boys in royal blue”

North’s beat Wynnum in the Q final 16-10 with a converted try two mins from end, first north’s premiership since 1998.

 

“stand up and cheer for North’s again this year”

 

Just Burleigh v Tugun in the Gold Coast league left, next Saturday.

[Anita Bath]

Three queensland based grand finals settled by 10 points in total. A long way from the weekly blow outs we got earlier in the season.

 

All great games and one to go. I caanot see Burleigh and Tugan being close…burleigh ran away with the minor premiership but who knows.
