Jordan Pressnell kicked the South Burnett’s sole goal during a one-sided match up against University on Saturday in the Darling Downs AFL competition.
University, who were semi-finalists in 2012, are currently at No 2 spot on the ladder and were simply too strong at home for the competition newcomers who had put up a good show against them in Round 6.
The final score was University 30.15 (195) to South Burnett 1.3 (9).
The solitary goal occurred in the last quarter, allowing the Saints to salvage some pride before the full-time siren.
Best on the paddock for the Saints were Nathan Trace, Adam Bowater, Will Reid, Dylan Bowater, Alexander Totton and Jordan Pressnell.
Next Saturday the Saints will face Warwick in a home game at Lyle Vidler Oval.
They’ll be hoping for a better showing against the Redbacks than in Round 4 when they were defeated 28.8 (186) to 1.9 (15).
It is also their “Heritage Day” round where past and present South Burnett Australian Rules players (ie Dogs, Jets and Saints), committee members, volunteers and supporters have been invited to join in a day of “sharing on-the-field and off-the-field memories”.
There will be food (after-game nibbles), a heritage corner, photo book and live music by Stunt Pig.
