Zillmere took out the final of the AFLQ pre-season cup yesterday, holding off Broadbeach to triumph by two points in a thriller at O'Callaghan Park.


Zillmere jumped out to a 29-point lead at quarter-time but Broadbeach were back within a point at the long break and kept the pressure on thereafter. Zillmere's Aiden Pratt was named best afield.


The Eagles had actually been beaten by the Suncoast Lions in their semi-final clash at Carrara the week before, but the Lions were unable to play on the weekend because of the AFL bye.
