2026 FQPL GRAND FINALS · THE LOW BLOCK FINALS GUIDE

Grand Final
weekend is here

Ten Grand Finals. Five divisions. Two venues. After an entire season and a finals series, the FQPL 2–6 Men's and U23 competitions come down to one final weekend.

Holland Park Hawks

THE FINAL TEN

The table got them here. Now one match decides everything.

The Men's finals contain regular-season winners, fourth-placed outsiders and some matchups that have already produced extraordinary games across 2026.

Pine Rivers dominated FQPL 5. New Farm scored more than 100 league goals. Newmarket finished 13 points ahead of AC Carina. Holland Park beat Bribie 7–1 and 4–0 — then lost the most recent meeting 5–3.

In FQPL 4, New Farm and Ripley have already combined for 15 goals in two meetings. In FQPL 3, Carina beat Newmarket 6–2 before Newmarket answered with a 5–1 win.

The regular season gives us the context. The Grand Finals give us the final answer.

2026 HEAD-TO-HEAD

R5 Bribie 1–7 Hawks
R12 Hawks 4–0 Bribie
R19 Bribie 5–3 Hawks

Holland Park completely controlled the first two meetings: 11 goals scored and just one conceded. Then came Round 19.

Bribie's 5–3 win proved the fourth-placed finalists can hurt the Hawks badly enough to win — and it is the freshest result between the two.

FQPL 5 MEN

First against second — but the gap was huge

Pine Rivers FC PINE RIVERS 1st 58 pts · 19 wins · 78 GF

2026 HEAD-TO-HEAD

R11 Old Bridge 0–2 Pine Rivers
R22 Pine Rivers 3–1 Old Bridge

Pine Rivers won 19 of 22 league matches, scored 78 goals and finished 15 points clear of Old Bridge.

They have also already beaten their Grand Final opponent home and away. Old Bridge now get the chance to win the one that matters most.

New Farm and Ripley were separated by only three points after 22 rounds and both averaged more than four goals per match.

Ripley won 5–4 at New Farm. New Farm answered with a 4–2 away win. The season series is level — and it has been anything but quiet.

FQPL 3 MEN

One demolition each

RELIABLE COMPLETED H2H

R7 AC Carina 6–2 Newmarket
R20 Newmarket 5–1 AC Carina

Newmarket finished as clear regular-season winners, but this is not a matchup in which either side can point to complete superiority.

Carina won the first completed meeting 6–2. Newmarket responded 5–1. Two matches. Fourteen goals. Two emphatic winners.

The abandoned partial 1–0 fixture is excluded.

FQPL 2 MEN

Pine Hills' final upset?

Fourth-placed Pine Hills have made it all the way to the decider. Grange stand between them and the trophy.

Grange Thistle GRANGE THISTLE 2nd 44 pts · 48 GF · +23 GD
SAT 5 SEP VS 7:00PM
Pine Hills PINE HILLS 4th 35 pts · 40 GF · +7 GD
ROUND 9 3–3 Grange Thistle v Pine Hills
ROUND 20 1–2 Pine Hills v Grange Thistle

Grange are unbeaten in the season series, but neither meeting suggests this is a foregone conclusion. The first finished 3–3, while the return meeting was decided by a single goal.

Pine Hills have already survived the finals series from fourth. One more result would complete the run.
