The Gatton Hawks soared above the Valleys Roosters to claim victory in one of the all-time great Toowoomba Rugby League A-grade grand finals on Saturday night.

With the club taking out their first men’s A-grade premiership since 2013, we have gone through the archives to the last time they claimed the title - also against Valleys.

Much like their 2024 counterparts, the Hawks of 2013 faced an early deficit as the Roosters started the stronger of the two sides and led 14-0 at the break.

However, Gatton remained unfazed and produced a stunning second half to claim a 32-20 win.

Check out our gallery from the day’s action here.
