The scoreboard at the end of the Saints v Swans game played in Kingaroy in July … fans will be hoping that the score looks something like this at the end of Saturday’s Grand Final<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

September 7, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

The South Burnett Saints have earned their spot in the AFL Grand Final after downing Highfields in the sudden-death Preliminary Final played in Toowoomba on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Highfields was the only team to defeat the Saints during the regular rounds of this year’s competition, spoiling their unbeaten record in the very last round.<\/p>\n

So the South Burnett were determined not to let this game get away from them.<\/p>\n

The Saints had a strong second and third quarter and managed to withstand a Highsfields’ fightback in the last.<\/p>\n

At half-time, South Burnett led 9.7 (61) to 4.2 (26); the full-time score was 12.12 (84) to 9.6 (60).<\/p>\n

The Division 2 Grand Final of the Darling Downs AFL competition, between the South Burnett and Dalby, will be played on Saturday, September 12, at Heritage Oval in North Toowoomba.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The South Burnett team will be keen to erase memories of last year’s Grand Final loss to Cougars when they take to the field.<\/p>\n

The Saints and Swans have played each other three times recently, with the South Burnett winning one of the encounters easily, just scraping home in another and losing the third.<\/p>\n

The Grand Final is scheduled to kick off at 12:45pm at Heritage Oval, in Stuart Street, Toowoomba.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
