Murgon will be the place to be for rugby league fans – again – with another huge day of football planned this Saturday at Murgon Showgrounds.
Games will be played across six fields for the annual Domestic Violence Awareness round.
This is the third year the Murgon Mustangs has hosted a DV Day to raise awareness in the community that there is “no excuse for abuse”.
The official opening ceremony will be held at 1:00pm.
Junior sides will be in action from 8:00am but the highlight of the day will be the Stanwell 9s which will feature South Burnett A Grade teams.
The final, which offers $1000 for the winner and $500 for the runner-up, will be played under lights from 7:15pm.
There’ll also be a women’s league game during the afternoon plus Murgon Under 16s will play a Round 3 game of the Toowoomba JRL competition, taking on Highfields.
Entry to the grounds is free and there’ll be free rides for the children.
The canteen will be open but this will be an alcohol-free event.
