| 20 | 0 | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Automatic 20-0 win awarded against the forfeiter, per competition rules. The ‘Seasiders’ forfeited in both A-Grade and Reserve Grade. The official reason was that much of their number were employed as professional fishermen and couldn’t get back in time for an early Wednesday kickoff. As well as a 20-point defeat, Wynnum were fined for their no-show. | |||||||||||||||||||||
