The annual Mini Mod rugby league carnival played at Wondai on Saturday has been hailed as a big success … even if the South Burnett’s local teams didn’t make it through to the main final.
Fifty-five junior teams from across the Wide Bay region – and their supporters – packed into the Wondai Sportsground and adjoining fields to play in U7s, U8s, U10s and U12s.
The South Burnett was represented by teams from Blackbutt, Nanango, Kingaroy, Wondai, Murgon and Cherbourg.
Mini Mod is an introductory form of rugby league, with modified rules.
The U7s, U8s and u10s played 15-minute games while the U12s – who were competing for a tournament trophy – played 19-minute games.
All games were played with a quick turn-around, giving spectators constant footy action across three fields.
The U12s final, played on the main oval, was an all Hervey Bay Seagulls affair, with Hervey Bay C defeating Hervey Bay A by 20-4 after an entertaining game.
Hervey Bay C captain Callum Green was named Player of the Final.

- Blackbutt Timbertowners – Harry Wilson
