The South Burnett Saints AFL Football Club used a $3000 grant from the State Government to host a Domestic Violence Awareness family fun day in Kingaroy on Saturday.
The event, at Lyle Vidler Oval, was competing against the Kingaroy Show across the road and a big rugby league triple header next door but it still managed to draw a good crowd.
Guests from local welfare agencies mingled with players and were involved in the coin toss before the start of the main game.
The family day began at 8:00am with breakfast before the junior games kicked off and then continued into the early evening with live music by local band Stunt Pig.

On the paddock, the Saints were targeted by the South Toowoomba Bombers who demolished the home side 26.16 (172) to 5.11 (41).
Ty Snow was again the South Burnett’s top scorer with two goals.
Also goaling were Jordan Pressnell, Aidan Brennan and Alexander Totton.
The Saints can take a breather next weekend as there are no games scheduled in the AFL Darling Downs competition.
Their next game will be another home game, against University, at Lyle Vidler Oval from 2:30pm on Saturday, May 18.
