Queensland Football Show - Episode 33

Kurt, I'll come to you first.

You are Queensland's number one kit man, as we have called you a number of times.

So you were involved in the Queensland men's side for their two games against the Brisbane Raw.

It must have been great to get everybody from around the competition together at the back end of the year for a bit of fun, but also a chance to test yourselves against an A-League side.

Well, first and foremost, I'm a sucker for punishment.

So that was after the NPL season, we had a couple of weeks off and then obviously Potential Power and Aaron Philp and our staff there were picked to represent Queensland, which was, it's a good honour to do so, but at the end of the day too, we still want to play a good competitive game of football and have, you know, make that, make the fortnight as fun as possible for the people that come into camp too.

And, and Scott, like it was, it was a good, good fortnight there of camp too.

Like training was, was, was quite good.

Um, But also too, there was some really, really good stuff that we did.

Some really good highlights too, which we'll touch on in the games very, very shortly.

But it was good that, especially when we're playing against a lot of these players that would come together, united and trying to do our best to beat the Brisbane Raw.

It would be nice if you could play teams like Victoria and New South Wales who had in years gone by.

But of course, with the advent of the Australian Championship, it does make things more difficult to find another state to actually play against.

So playing against the Raw is a nice alternative to that.

And I guess for your squad, while it was a bit of fun at the end of the year, it was also a serious component to it because a number of the players in your squad are going to go on and play in the Australian Championship and want to get to that level.

So there is that element to it as well.

Yeah, absolutely.

And to the guys there that actually were selected for Australian Championship, congratulations.

We'll touch on them very, very shortly.

But again, it was just sort of a way to bring them into camp to get them into some sort of form.

And then they'll go on to their representative teams for Australian Championships.

They certainly will.

And on the games itself, Adam, the first game was a 3-1 win for the Brisbane Royal, two goals to Emmett Shaw, Justin Vintage getting goals.

Brad Inman on the score sheet for the Queensland State team and up in Redcliffe in the second game.

It was a 6-3 win for the Royal.
