Wondai’s huge Mini-Mod Carnival last Saturday attracted more than 870 players – plus their supporters – to Wondai Sportsground.
The round robin games played with modified rules attracted players from 19 clubs, aged from Under 6s through to Under 12s.
All South Burnett clubs had players taking part but there were also visiting players from as far away as Bundaberg and Hervey Bay.
All up, 197 mini-games of footy involving 78 teams were played across nine fields, so a lot of youngsters would have gone home tired but happy!
