Bond University have kept alive their chances of pushing into the Queensland Premier Rugby top four but their 48-31 win over Souths came at a cost, with centre Corbin Kiernan breaking his leg.
After dislocating his shoulder in round 3, Kiernan was making his Hospital Challenge Cup return and scored Bond's first try after being among the best on ground in the opening stages.
But he then suffered a badly broken leg, undergoing surgery on Sunday to repair a broken tibia and fibula.
The round marked the return of several Queensland Reds players to the competition, including Bond's Gav Luka and Teti Tela and Souths centre Chris Feauai-Sautia, who played close to a full game for the Magpies and was among the first players on hand to check on Kiernan.
Winger Sefa Naivalu played his first Premier Rugby match for North in their narrow loss to GPS, while fellow Reds flyer Jock Campbell scored for UQ in their 22-19 win over a resurgent Sunnybank.
Souths' loss pushed them out of the top four, with Easts moving into fourth place after their 24-22 win over Wests, whose finals push has likely come to an end with the loss.
RESULTS
Bond University 48 - Souths 31
Easts 24 - Wests 22
GPS 21 - Norths 16
University of Qld 22 - Sunnybank 19
