The traditional mid-season Football South Burnett President’s Cup games – which pit the ladder leaders against each other – were played on Friday night in Kingaroy.
The Cup matches were played in chilly conditions under lights at Tom Alford Oval before a small crowd.
Hosts Kingaroy Senior Soccer had three teams in the running for glory, and brought home the two trophies.
In the men’s competition, Kingaroy Islanders downed Kingaroy Easts 3-1 in the local derby.
The women’s cup was a closer contest, with a keenly fought game between Kingaroy Wests and the Nanango Panthers.
Wests eventually came out on top, 2-1.
