dominance into the second half, running out winners 26-14. Metro
East halfback Craig Chapman proved the big difference between the
sides, scoring three tries in the second half.
Wide Bay number 18 Nathan
Jensen made an excellent rugby league debut at Rockhampton. Until

sporting interest has been in running. He had never played a game
of league until he trialed for this Wide Bay team. After settling
into the ways of league, he scored a try on both the third and
last days.
Team management was
impressed by his ability and enthusiasm, and is keen to see him
further his interest with some good coaching.

Major Championship
Final
Capricornia vs
Sunshine Coast
Host region Capricornia won
the 15 Years' State Championship today with a comprehensive
victory over Sunshine Coast. Their outstanding displays over the
past four days saw the home team gain seven places in the
Queensland side which was named after the carnival.
The two teams fought for
supremacy for the first 15 minutes without scoring. But then
Capricornia kicked up a gear and ran in three tries in the next
ten minutes. Centre Jermaine Alberts sparked the assault when he
received the ball in a large gap midfield, raced free and evaded
the opposing fullback near the line to score under the posts. Alberts
scored three tries for the match.
Two minutes later Luke
Fatnowna was over in similar fashion after galloping 30 metres to
ground the ball in a desperate Coast tackle. Alberts scored his
second try to send Capricornia to the break with a
championship-winning lead 18-0. Sunshine Coast didn't score until
eight minutes from full time, when fullback Joshua Shuttlewood
forced his way across, but at 24-6 the game was already over.
Capricornia set their seal on the trophy with two more tries in
the dying minutes.
Capricornia
34 (J Alberts 3, L Fatnowna, I Lacey, D Nixon tries; C
Bromilow 3, B Seymour 2 goals) def Sunshine Coast 6 (J
Shuttlewood try; M Harris goal). Half time: Capricornia
18-0. Players of final: Jermaine Alberts
(Capricornia); Matt Deguara (Sunshine Coast).
Player of the Carnival
Capricornia
five-eighth Brett Seymour won the prestigious Commonwealth Bank
award with an outstanding display of consistent brilliance
throughout the four days of the championships. He was also
rewarded with selection in the Queensland 15 Years team. Brett
attends Mercy College Mackay.
