Country scored four tries to three to steal the honours.
Both sides were 12-all at half time before the City Slickers led 18-12 early in the second half.
Country back-rower Selasi Berdie – who was called up at late notice to replace Tweed Heads teammate Luke Swain – had a brilliant afternoon, scoring 1 try and winning man-of-the-match honours.
Queensland Residents play New South Wales in a curtain-raiser to State of Origin Two at Suncorp Stadium on Wednesday week.
Despite the loss, City coach Shane McNally is positive that a host of City players will still be a good chance of being selected for the interstate showdown.
I think it should be an even split,” he said.
"They (Country) weren’t that dominant. We had some very good players and so did they.”
Country 25 (Adam Fielder, Brad Davis, Josh Lewis, Selasi Berdie tries; Nick Parfitt 2, Brad Davis 2 goals, Josh Lewis field goal) d City 18 (Kane Manihera, Matt Lockyer, Adam Brideson tries; Marty Turner 3 goals). - Read More, Here
