THE Queensland Country Heelers are coming for their interstate rivals after dominating their New Zealand tour.

The Heelers completed a successful tour of Christchur­ch with a 42-17 win over North Canterbury yesterday to back up their 29-10 defeat of Ellesmere on Monday.

Starting No.13 Jesse McGilvary (Surfers Paradise) chimed in with a try.

Paul Tema, William Bulley, Harry Hawker, Brandon Mayhew and Josh Fletcher also crossed for the visitors, with Fletcher and Will Gilbert booting three conversion­s each.

Helensvale centre Jack Finigan and Coolangatt­a Tweed forward Mitch Planten both were named on the bench for the match.

Next up for the squad, which was selected following district and regional representa­tive tournament­s, is the crown jewel: The Battle of the Border Cup against NSW Country in Goondiwind­i this Saturday.
