The match was moved from the University due to the recent wet weather causing the ground to be water logged.

Grammar scored a converted try half way through the first half. Seven - nil. It remained that way at half time.

Ten minutes in the second, Nambour were able to score out wide but failed to convert. Seven - five. They fought hard in the next ten, but failed to capitalise on opportunities they created and Grammar mistakes. Nambour did not get another such opportunity after that. File:Grammar-v-NCC-05.JPG
