2022 GBNL Grand Final WINNERS

Our Opens fought through their 2022 season, finishing third on the ladder and taking out Cornubia Park in the Semi Final. They went head to head with Downey Park in the Grand Final with the whole of our QC Family watching. Our Opens took the lead by 10 for the majority of the game…but the gap starting closing. With only one goal in it, in the last few minutes…our QC defenders were able to deny all attempts at goal and raised the roof off Nissan Arena when the final whistle blew.

QC ARE THE WINNERS!

What a Season, What a Grand Final, What a team!
