The CQ Capras under-18s can âhold their heads highâ after their Mal Meninga Cup campaign, according to coach Kane Hardy.
Their stellar run came to an end in Saturdayâs semi-final against the Townsville Blackhawks in Brisbane.
The Capras were edged 28-24 after coming back from 12-nil down and leading by six points midway through the second half of the seesawing contest.
Hardy said the loss was âheartbreakingâ but praised his talented outfit for their amazing efforts throughout the season.
The Jai Hansen-captained outfit convincingly won their six pool games, becoming the first team in Capras history to finish on top of a QRL statewide competition ladder at the end of the regular season.
