2025 Queensland Schools Premier League junior and intermediate finals live stream: Watch two fields live
Two thrilling penalty shootouts were among the highlights on the final day of the Queensland Schools Premier League season. Watch all six grand final REPLAYS here.
Some stunning spot kick heroics from Chancellor goalkeeper Aleisha Manthey ensured her side claimed a 9-8 victory on penalties after a 1-1 regular time score line against Kelvin Grove.
In the highlight match of Wednesday, three time champions Kelvin Grove came out with plenty of spark in the opening 15 minutes before the travelling Chancellor side got a foothold in the contest.

With both sides showcasing a free flowing brand of football, both goalkeepers were called into action as the temperature continued to rise.
A drinks break was called at the 20 minute mark with both sides opting to make some substitutions and a move into strike for Chancellor’s Ellie Kaese proved vital.
The rising speedster got a lovely ball from Ashley Cooper just past halfway before turning and steaming towards goal where she beat the two covering defenders and poked the ball home with the outside of her right boot.
The teams resumed the second half with Chancellor holding a 1-0 lead as Kelvin Grove were knocking on the door and managed to create some good opportunities but nothing could ripple the back of the net.
With less than five minutes to play, Kelvin Grove were awarded an indirect free kick from around 30 yards out.
The shot on goal was parried away by goalkeeper Aleisha Manthey before Milly Beard blasted the ball into the back of the net to level the scores.
Neither side could find the winner in the dying stages as the match went to penalties and after both teams were successful in their first eight attempts, a great save from Manthey meant she stepped up and scored the winning penalty for her side to lift the trophy.
In other results on grand final day, a tight and cagey affair resulted in a narrow 1-0 victory for Palm Beach Currumbin over Corinda to crown the Junior Boys Pool A champions. It was a rollercoaster first half with attacking promise from both sides coming in waves of momentum.
Kelvin Grove overcame a tough Palm Beach Currumbin and an even tougher Queensland sun to be crowned Intermediate Pool A champions following a 1-0 result.
The match started with flair and energy as both teams had two main scoring chances in the opening 20 minutes which was a great guide into the battle of the midfields.
A four-goal performance from Jaiden Bramston saw Kawana power to a 6-0 win over Cleveland in the Junior Boys Pool B final.
The victors raced out to an early 2-0 lead before Bramston put through his first with his elite attacking skills too much for Cleveland to maintain.
Aspley also secured a big 4-0 win over Kawana in the Junior Girls Pool B final while the Cleveland and Aspley Intermediate Pool B final ended in a thrilling 3-2 penalties win for Cleveland.

Ahead of the finals kicking off, here’s the players who could be set to make a big impact.
POOL A – JUNIOR BOYS
Braxton Young (Palm Beach Currumbin)
An exceptionally talented goalkeeper on the rise, Young is a brilliant shot stopper, has great distribution off the ground and organisation of his team from the back.

Jesse Shortt (Corinda)
