Redcliffe, who finished as minor premiers for the first time and earned a first week bye, were forced into a preliminary final with Norths after losing to the Bears. The Dolphins held on for a four-point victory to book their third grand final appearance in five years. First half After Burleigh kicked a penalty goal inside the opening minute, it took 20 minutes for the first try of the game to be scored, with Bears' centre Darren Anderson crossing out wide. With six minutes to play in the first half, Dolphins' centre Mixie Lui put his winger Trent Leis into gap to score. Leis missed the ensuing conversion leaving his side trailing by four points at half time. Second half Redcliffe opened the second half with a penalty goal from right in front after Burleigh prop Tony Priddle was penalised. 10 minutes later, the Dolphins nabbed their second try when winger Ricky Hewinson scored in the corner, courtesy of a Tony Gould cutout pass. Leis failed to convert but Redcliffe had their first lead, 10–8, with 18 minutes remaining. Burleigh regained the lead shortly after when fullback Jamie Mahon scored what would be the game-winning try. A tense final 10 minutes followed but Burleigh hung on to claim their first premiership in their third season in the Queensland Cup.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WwnuIP3bAI 1999 QLD Cup grand final Burleigh 12 v Redcliffe 10 YouTube Burleigh winger Aaron Douglas, who was stretchered off during the game, became the first player to win two Queensland Cup grand finals, winning his first with Redcliffe two years earlier.https://www.nrl.com/news/2016/09/30/the-night-burleigh-almost-beat-great-britain/ The night Burleigh almost beat Great Britain 29 September 2016 Player statistics Leading try scorers PosPlayerTeamTries1Aaron DouglasBurleigh 16 Burleigh Bears302Matt FisherWynnum 16 Wynnum Seagulls263Royce SimmsHunter 16 Logan Scorpions174Heath EgglestoneCentral Comets 16 Central Capras165Steven BellNorths Devils 16 Norths Devils15Trent ClaytonRedcliffe 16 Redcliffe Dolphins15Craig FrawleyToowoomba 16 Toowoomba Clydesdales15Jabin PickerBalmain 16 Easts Tigers15 Leading point scorers PosPlayerTeamTGFGPts1John WilshereNorths Devils 16 Norths Devils8112-2562Ben LytheBurleigh 16 Burleigh Bears410412253Mick RobertsRedcliffe 16 Redcliffe Dolphins986-2084Chris LawlerIpswich 16 Ipswich Jets105911595Scott ThorburnBalmain 16 Easts Tigers649-122 End-of-season awards Courier Mail Medal: Mick Roberts (Redcliffe 16 Redcliffe Dolphins) Rookie of the Year: David Seage (Wynnum 16 Wynnum Seagulls) See also Queensland Sports Queensland Cup Queensland Rugby League References Category:1999 in Australian rugby league Category:Queensland Cup
