Statewide score wrap: Retiring playmaker goes out on high

Goodna’s Holcim Cup player of the match, Lima Soe, will hang up her boots after claiming her first grand final victory in eight years of rugby league.

The veteran playmaker helped steer the Eagles to their 28-4 victory over Valleys Diehards on Saturday, August 20, and picked up the best on ground honours for her efforts.

Not only was it her first premiership after several attempts, but 30-year-old Soe said after the match it was also to be her final game.

Soe said she had been pushing for a grand final victory for years, and after last year’s heart-breaking loss to Runaway Bay, she was ready to end on a high.

“I have no words. It’s been a long time coming,” Soe said after the game.

“It’s been years trying to chase this. We’ve finally got the win.

“I just wanted to win and I’ll hang up the boots. I’m 30 now and I just wanted to win it. This is more than anything I could have dreamed.

“It means a lot. I’ve been playing for eight years. I’ve been in so many grand finals and lost all of them. This is my first (win) so it makes sense to go and hang the boots up.”

A humble Soe refused to take any credit for the win despite the player of the match nod and said she just “finished off” the work of her team mates.

Goodna were in control for the majority of the match and piled on four converted tries to one – plus two penalty goals – to seal the victory.

Soe is not the only player walking away after Saturday’s win, with co-captain Lorina Leaunoa revealing after the game that she also planned to now move home to New Zealand.

Soe said with the number of players moving on, it made the win all that more special.

“We just dug deep,” Soe said.

“We just knew this was ours. A few of our girls won’t be coming back next year so this has topped it off.”
