2011 Queensland Cup season

Prior to the Grand Final the two sides had meet each other 3 times during the 2011 season with Tweed defeating Wynnum Manly by 20 points in Round 5 and 40 points in Round 16, however Wynnum Manly did get one back with a 24-12 victory against Tweed in the Semi Finals.

It was the first time in the sixteen year history of the Queensland Cup that Wynnum Manly featured in the grand final, whilst Tweed previously featured back in 2007 where they defeated the Redcliffe Dolphins 28-18.

Following an error by Tweed deep in their own half, Wynnum Manly took advance with halfback Matt Seamark putting through an inch-perfect grubber for flying fullback Jake Granville to score under the posts and cut the deficit to 10-6 at the break.

The 2011 Grand Final took play at Suncorp Stadium on Sunday 25 September between the Minor premiers the Tweed Heads Seagulls and the Wynnum Manly Seagulls.
