Con Foley hopeful experience will give UQ edge over Jeeps
By Tim Mosey
UQ skipper Con Foley will lead his team into battle against GPS to contest the 2018 QLD Premier Rugby Grand Final on Sunday.
The former St. Joseph’s College, Gregory Terrace star only knows one way to play – straight, direct and uncompromising.
This approach captured Head Coach Mick Heenan’s attention in 2012, and catapulted Foley into first grade, finishing the season with a maiden premiership title.
“I remember in 2011 we lost in the semi final and then we beat Sunnybank in the final of 2012,” Foley reminisced.
“We had a great year that year.”
Though Foley will lead the team out on Sunday, the Red Heavies will not be short of leadership experience.
“We don’t really have a vice captain. We have plenty of guys who have lead the side over time.
“James Dalgleish, Jack De Guingand and Campbell Wakely are three guys who have lead our side admirably in the past.
“We have a lot of guys who have that leadership experience.”
