The Sunshine Coast Falcons and Burleigh Bears have responded after Finals Week 1 losses to secure their spots in next weekend’s preliminary finals.

The Falcons came from 24 points down to snatch a remarkable golden point win against Tweed Seagulls, while the Bears hit back with a strong 32-16 win over the Central Queensland Capras.

It means the top four ranked teams are still alive heading into the preliminary final weekend, with Norths Devils to host the Falcons at Bishop Park and the Redcliffe Dolphins drawn against the Burleigh Bears at Moreton Daily Stadium.

Both matches will be played on Saturday with the winners advancing to the grand final at Moreton Daily Stadium on September 24.

The Hastings Deering Colts preliminary finals will also be held on Saturday.

Townsville Blackhawks are locked in to play last year’s grand final nemesis Wynnum Manly Seagulls at Bishop Park, while the Central Queensland Capras will travel to Redcliffe to play the Dolphins.
