The South Burnett Thrashers celebrated their outstanding return to the Darling Downs Rugby Union competition in 2022 at their presentation dinner on Saturday night.
The night, which attracted about 30 guests, was held at the Kingaroy Hotel.
It also marked the 30th anniversary of the club.
The Thrashers returned to competition after a break of eight years and earned a spot in the semi-finals!
The team finished in third place on the C Grade ladder but were knocked out of the running by fourth-placed Roma in a sudden-death minor semi-final.
The awards were presented by club president Jamie Shirlaw and club stalwart Jason Lee, who also picked up the prestigious “Thrasher Award” shield for Clubman of the Year.
Jamie said the club members were feeling excited about the 2023 competition.
The Thrashers have already contacted the Darling Downs competition with their intention to submit a team.
Club awards for the 2022 season were also announced:
- Coach’s Award – Cordy Jones

- Best Back – Sata Tale
- Best Forward – Eliajah Kocavanua
