The competition, known as the Bundy Gold Cup due to sponsorship from Bundaberg Rum, featured 11 teams playing a 26-week long season (including finals) from March to September.

The scores were then levelled when Tony Duggan dived on a loose ball in the in-goal and Damien Quinn converted from the sideline.

The lead was short lived, as Redcliffe tied the game two minutes before the break when winger George Wilson crossed out wide.

Redcliffe clawed ahead once again when Luke Scott scored inside the final 10 minutes, setting up a tense finish.

Five years later, Toowoomba pair Brent Tate and Casey McGuire won an NRL premiership with the Brisbane Broncos, when they defeated the Melbourne Storm in the 2006 grand final.
