South Burnett Saints vice-president Will Reid and Mick Davey at Saturday’s Shoppingworld sign-on

November 12, 2012

The South Burnett Saints are quietly confident that they’ll be reintroducing AFL to the region next year.

The club held a sign-on at Kingaroy Shoppingworld on Saturday morning and now have 31 seniors and 16 juniors committed for 2013.

Vice-President Will Reid told southburnett.com.au that while registrations are still below the 35 seniors and 35 juniors the club needs to enrol by November 25, he’s sure the Saints will meet their target.

The group’s 9-a-side touch competition at Lyle Vidler Oval on Tuesday nights has been well attended over the past two weeks, and so has an informal Sunday afternoon kick-around at the same venue.

Will said the Saints had also arranged their grounds and sponsors for 2013.

So now all they need is another 23 players to make their dream a reality.

If you’d like to sign aboard, you can contact Will on 0417-144-062 or president Daniel Clacy on 0413-858-103, by email, or via Facebook.

The Saints will be holding their next meeting at the Kingaroy’s Lyle Vidler Oval clubhouse on Wednesday, November 21 at 6:30pm.
