Narangba Valley SHS will look rebound from last year's sudden exit while Palm Beach Currumbin SHS, Helensvale SHS and Miami SHS were fancied

PBC and Helensvale SHS both played off in last year's senior male final while Miami SHS were the senior female reigning champions.

Kedron SHS (junior females) have a fast developing program aided by the school's proximity to Kedron AFC and Wilston Grange AFC.

JUST A $1 A WEEK FOR THE FIRST 8 WEEKS

Narangba Valley SHS AFL academy co-ordinator Ashleigh Hales said her senior girls squad would have added motivation after being bundled out last year and not making State Finals.

"We were disappointed to miss out last year after being eliminated in the semi-finals. We are just happy to be back again this year,'' Hales said.

She said two-thirds of last year's senior girls would return to try and snare the title.

Narangba SHS has been represented each year in the State Finals since the inception of the competition in 2016, a proud tradition the school is building.

Hales has played Australian football all her life and said students from all schools were fortunate to have the AFL Queensland Schools Cup.

This year a remarkable 600 teams encompassing 11,844 students started in the AFL Queensland Schools Cup.

"When I was in (years) 10, 11, 12 we played in Brisbane Lions Cup and you played 12 or so other schools in south east Queensland,'' she said.

"It has grown a lot in that time and has provided heaps of opportunities for kids.

"It is cool see them get the opportunities they do''

Friday's livestreaming coverage will start on field No. 1 from 11.30am.

The October 18 field No. 1 preliminary final draw is as follows:

Senior female (11.30am), Narangba Valley SHS v Palm Beach Currumbin SHS;

Junior male (1pm), Helensvale SHS v Palm Beach Currumbin SHS;

Junior inclusion (2.45pm), Sunshine Coast Region v Ryan Catholic College;

Senior female (4.15pm), Miami SHS v The Cathedral College;

Sunday fixtures will not be finalised until after the completion of the Friday preliminary finals.

Mark Ensor, AFL Queensland State Manager - Game Development & Diversity, said it was exciting to see so many schools now take part.

"In 2019, 602 teams and close to 12,000 students have contested our Queensland's Premiers statewide AFL inter-school Competition, AFLQ Schools Cup. The competitions has increased from 419 teams in 2016,'' he said.
