The six teams already qualified for the Langer Trophy are Palm Beach Currumbin SHS, Keebra Park SHS, Marsden SHS, Ipswich SHS, Wavell SHS and Coombabah SHS.
Caloundra SHS were De Vere Cup (Year 9) winners last season.
The quality of the qualifying games was evidenced by the fact that both Mabel Park SHS and St Marys were in the Langer Trophy last season.
In addition, Redcliffe SHS only lost one match in 2021 - ironically the Langer Trophy final qualifying game.
Queensland Secondary Schools Rugby League chair Andrew Peach said it was great to see such high class teams involved in qualifiers which could be seen by a larger audience courtesy of News Corp’s national livestream reach.
“We are really excited by the high standard of qualifying games in 2022,’’ Peach said.
“It is a great indication of the growth of the competition that we have so many schools competing at this level.
“All three games will be high quality contests. It is great the quality of the competition is putting pressure on us to continue to provide opportunities.’’
