While Hanlan’s NSW Country men’s side defeated Queensland 3-1 to be crowned national champions, Rekunow and Parker’s women’s side had to settle for silver after going down to their northern neighbours 2-nil.
The two minutes either side of half-time was where Queensland did the damage, scoring their two goals in the 33rd and 37th minute.
Earlier in a largely faultless performance, Riley Hanrahan's late goal sealed a two-goal win for the men after Michael Dillon and Ben Wright had put them ahead 2-nil at half-time.
Hanlan found the net during the successful campaign finishing with two goals, while Parker jagged two and Rekunow one.
