The South Burnett men’s soccer team has come home with the trophy after a nail-biting final of the South West Zone Championships played at Toowoomba at the weekend.<\/p>\n

Football South Burnett senior chairman Mick North, obviously proud of the team’s performance, said it was a “remarkable achievement”.<\/p>\n

Five teams entered the championships, which were played at at Middle Ridge Park: South Burnett, West Wanderers, South Toowoomba Hawks, Western Power and Stanthorpe<\/p>\n

The competition was played as a round robin, with the teams finishing first and second playing for the trophy on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

West Wanderers and South Burnett finished well clear of the rest of the competition on 11 points each.<\/p>\n

The championship final between the two sides – which had earlier played a nil-all draw – could not have been closer.<\/p>\n

At the end of regulation time and extra time, South Burnett and Wanderers were locked at 1-all.<\/p>\n

South Burnett won the ensuing penalty shoot out 4-3 and now have the opportunity to represent the South West Queensland zone at the Champions of Champions competition on the Sunshine Coast in September.<\/p>\n
