It is on again. And after last year when they never thought the shield would ever go north of Brisbane it might prove to be an almighty contest this year. It was good to get our Coast first on the shield. I hear the Gold Coast Clubs are even chartering buses for the trip north this year.
In 2011Over 20 Queensland boardriding clubs from Noosa to Coolangatta converged on the Gold Coast, with upwards of 200 competitors taking part in the weekend's event.
2011 Coast of Origin Results:
