The Wondai Wolves chalked up their first win of the season – in fact, their first A Grade win since June 2017 – by downing Kingaroy in the wet last Saturday.
Building on their good showing in Round 1, the Wolves toughed it out against a strong Red Ants’ side to record a last-minute 28-22 victory at Cherbourg.
Matthew Stumer scored two tries for Wondai, including the last-minute clincher.
Other Wondai tries were scored by Thomas McDowell, Merton Bulmer and David Simpson. Danny Alberts kicked four conversions.
Kingaroy try scorers were Jack Rowan, Brady Roberts, Chris Quinn and Isileli Haunga. Rowan kicked three goals.
At the end of the day, Wolves’ fans couldn’t be happier after wins in all three grades contested: U12s, U14s and A Grade.

Toowoomba Valleys defeated the South Burnett Eagles in their Round 2 U18 Toowoomba rugby league played in Toowoomba on Saturday.
The two sides met in a trial match in Kingaroy on March 9 which ended in hard-fought draw but this time the South Burnett boys came off second best.
At half-time, Valleys led 16-0 but the Eagles had a better second half with Alex Pomfret and Dion Handford both scoring tries.
Ed Aubrey kicked one goal.
The final score was 38-10.
The South Burnett’s next game is scheduled to be played against Goondiwindi, who will be coming off back-to-back wins, next Sunday (April 7).
