Brothers mounted a stunning second-half comeback to draw with UQ 26-all in Round 13, extending their Bunter Bowl run to 12 consecutive months and retaining the Templeton-McLean Cup. UQ dominated the first half with tries from Jock Campbell, Alex Davies, Samuela Tuisau, and Jack Grady to lead 26-nil at halftime.
Brothers showed remarkable resilience after the interval. Finn Prasse scored twice, Isaac Tarabay added another, and with UQ's Jack Brady on yellow, Ben Dalle Cort's conversions narrowed the gap to two. Michael Wood's pick-and-drive with under three minutes remaining levelled at 26-all. Seb Hanna made a crucial turnover after fulltime to secure the draw.
2nd Grade defeated Uni 41-14 in a one-versus-two clash for the Coffey Jones Memorial Shield, remaining undefeated after 13 rounds.
