2011 Season
The season started 2 weeks later than planned after the 2011 Brisbane floods. Rocklea United were the worst affected club, and did not play at their home ground all season. The league table was close as the season hit the half way mark, with North Star and Queensland Lions leading after 13 rounds. At the bottom, Toowoomba Raiders lost their first 13 games of the season, only scoring 4 times during these matches.
Toowoomba Raiders were relegated with many weeks still to play, while Queensland Lions secured promotion to the Brisbane Premier League on Sunday August 21st with an 8-0 thrashing of 4th placed Western Spirit. North Star joined Lions in celebrating promotion after defeating Rocklea United on the final day - pipping Ipswich Knights by a single point. Ipswich City were the second team to be relegated after losing out to Southside Eagles on goal difference.

Famous quotes containing the word season:
“Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
