There’s a big double-header of rugby league planned at Murgon on Saturday with two A Grade matches scheduled.

Cherbourg will take on Murgon in the local derby at 2:00pm, followed by Kingaroy v Wondai at 4:00pm.

After demolishing Wondai and Murgon over the past two weeks, the Nanango Stags have a bye this weekend to catch their breath.

In the U18s Toowoomba competition, the South Burnett Eagles will face the Wattles Warriors at Clifton at 3:45pm on Saturday.

The Eagles enjoyed a big win in Kingaroy last weekend, downing Pittsworth 50-12 .

The South Burnett side is currently holding down fifth spot on the ladder in the 12-team competition.

All South Burnett women’s teams – U14s, U16s and Open – competing in the Sunshine Coast competition have a bye this weekend.

One for the diaries: Next weekend (June 16), there will be two Open women’s games played at Wondai – Noosa v Kawana at 2:30pm, followed by South Burnett v Nambour at 3:45pm.

Robert Ryan runs away to score for the Stags, taking the score to 22-0
One of the reasons why Murgon couldn’t get any points on the board … the Stags starved them of possession and their defence was relentless

The carnival will feature boys and girls games in U13, U14 and U16 age groups, representing four regional teams: Central Queensland Capras, South West Mustangs, Sunshine Coast Falcons and Wide Bay Bulls.
