Nudgee have won the 2023 QLD GPS Rugby Premiership with a 37 – 7 win over The Southport School at Southport.
A win to TSS would have resulted in a possible 4 way premiership with TSS, Nudgee, Churchie & Toowoomba Grammar sharing the title, however Nudgee College proved too strong, winning their 44th Rugby premiership.
Nudgee started strongly with tries to Prestyn Laine-Setu and Cruz Lemming, before TSS narrowed the lead to 14-7 with a try to Mason King.
The second half was all Nudgee College with tries to Nicholas Conway, Macarius Pereira and James Duggan. The try to winger Nicholas Conway in particular, was a spectacular 50 metre solo effort to score under the posts.
TSS 7 (tries: Mason King; conv: Spencer Alcock) defeated by Nudgee 37 (tries: Prestyn Laine-Setu, Cruz Lemming, Nicholas Conway, Macarius Pereira, James Duggan; conv: Maddox Maclean 3; pen: Maddox Maclean 2)
