South Burnett rugby league fans’ wait for the start of the 2017 season is over … there will be a full round of matches played in the region on Saturday, from Under 6s through to Seniors.
In the top grade, 2016 South Burnett premiers and Burnett Cup winners Cherbourg will take on Wondai at Wondai.
In the other A Grade game, the Murgon Mustangs will face the Kingaroy Red Ants at Murgon.
All sides should be well-primed after a series of testing trial games, and in the Hornets’ case an interstate game played at Newcastle.
