Nanango Panthers hosted another massive Mini Roos junior soccer carnival Sunday with teams coming from across southern Queensland for the big day.
Games for U6s through to U12/13s were played across 14 fields (plus a novelty games area) at the Alan Downie Sports Fields in Nanango.
Young players from the three South Burnett clubs – Nanango, Kingaroy and Barambah – took on visiting teams from as far away as Pittsworth and Bundaberg as well as towns including Stanthorpe, Chinchilla, Dalby and Toowoomba.
Gazebos filled with proud parents and friends lined the fields (and made parking a premium in Burnett Street and surrounding areas).
A team of Nanango Panthers’ volunteers taking player registrations and refereeing as well as working in the canteen and barbecue tent ensured everything ran smoothly during the huge event.
