4 Test players and a further 10 first class players were on show in the 1984/85 Brisbane First Grade grand final between Valley and Northern Suburbs but it was Valleys big man Paul "Lurch" Lewis who proved the difference taking 5 for 44 in Norths' first innings 199.
Steve Monty and Brett Henschell were the only players to score fifties in a low scoring affair with Valleys ultimately winning by 7 wickets.
