    competition’s naming rights partner – Allsports
    Physiotherapy – for their ongoing support.

    Today we see four of our nine clubs represented
    across the finals, with Brothers and Easts featuring

    Holders for 2020, whilst University of Queensland
    and the Brethren will go head-to-head in all three
    Colts divisions.

    The Women’s Grand Final will see a new champion
    crowned, with Easts and GPS contesting the
    title after Sunnybank’s five-year hold on the
    trophy came to holt after their loss to GPS in last
    weekend’s preliminary final.

     Codey watched on last week as GPS and
     Sunnybank played out a tight match in the
     preliminary final, and the GPS forward pack set the
     physical standard that the Tigers can expect this
     Sunday, with one name catching Codey’s eye.
     “Vua Rasolea – she was a standout against
     Sunnybank,” she said.
     “We can expect a physical contest from the
     Gallopers in the forwards, but their backline can
     be lethal as well.”
     Rasolea is one of two Queensland capped props
     who have been putting in for GPS this season, with
     2017 Wallaroos player of the year and mum-of-five,
     Hilisha Samoa, also returning to club Rugby this
     year at Yoku Road.
     Samoa scored the try that sealed the match

How we’re helping Indigenous
kids to chase their dreams
Our Future Indigenous Leaders Program started in 2013 and encourages students
in Cherbourg and Woorabinda to stay in school, seek employment or further
training to help them become a leader in their community.
We want to support talented Indigenous students to reach their full potential.
It’s thanks to the achievements and commitment of these students, and their
communities, that the program is seeing more and more students chase their
dreams.
