XXXX QLD Statewide Score Wrap

FOLLOWING the completion of a remarkable weekend in Queensland Rugby League, below are the latest scores from around the State, including several grand finals.

Aside from the already well-documented finals in the QLD Wizard Cup, FOGS Cup and FOGS Colts Challenge, the following also occurred:

* The Innisfail Leprechauns winning all three grades of the Cairns District Rugby League in arguably the most inspirational result this season. The Leprechauns were hit hard by Cyclone Larry earlier this year and were forced to play out of town and train without lighting and other facilities. Not to be overlooked, neighbouring Tully won the Under 16s Cowboys Cup, having endured Larry's effects as well.

* Herbert River winning its first title since joining the Townsville and District Rugby League, overcoming heavy favourite Brothers. The Herbert River side was 95% local juniors, with Paul Dezolt and Luke Spina (son of Cowboys inaugural captain Laurie) among the members. Former Brisbane Bronco Willie Morganson helped the Crushers win the reserve grade title as well, going into retirement a winner.

* Ipswich Brothers winning all five senior premierships on the weekend - A Grade, Womens, Reserve Grade, C-Grade and Under 18. Ipswich Rugby League official Greg Jadsby said the grand final crowd was the largest in his memory with "not a spare spot in the ground".

* All up the Brothers confraternity provided 12 teams in major grand finals across Queensland last weekend, with the Brethren also to contest this coming Sunday's Toowoomba Rugby League grand final at Clive Berghofer Stadium against local rival Valleys.

* Kaiwalagal Rugby League in the Torres Strait will also hold its grand final this coming weekend (Saturday), set to coincide with the region's annual cultural festival.
