Kaia Williams heads towards the goalposts to score for the South Burnett Eagles in their recent trial match against Toowoomba Valleys in Kingaroy … the game finished in a 24-all draw<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

March 22, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

There’s a big weekend of sport coming up in the South Burnett, with the first round of the local soccer and rugby league competitions plus a sudden death final in the cricket.<\/p>\n

There’s also a mini triathlon, junior motorcycle speedway and the Proston Golden Spurs Campdraft.<\/p>\n

* * *<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At Kumbia Oval, the Rattlers will take on the Nanango Scorpions in the Preliminary final of the B Grade cricket competition.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This will decide who will face Blackbutt in the Grand Final next weekend.<\/p>\n

Play is due to get under way at 12:30pm.<\/p>\n

* * *<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Junior cricketers will be turning pink in Kingaroy for their Pink Stumps fundraiser.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Kingaroy Junior Cricket Club’s Pink Stumps Day will run at Lyle Vidler Oval from 8:00am to 5:00pm to help raise funds for the McGrath Foundation’s breast care nurses.<\/p>\n

There’ll be matches between eight local teams from Kingaroy and Nanango between 8:00am and 4:30pm, along with a $2 barbecue lunch between 11:30am and 12:30pm.<\/p>\n

Round 1 of the South Burnett Soccer competition will feature men’s and women’s games at Tom Alford Oval in Kingaroy and at the Wondai soccer fields.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Kingaroy, Wests will take on Gunnettes in the local derby at 3:15pm, followed by the men’s 1st Division game between Wests and Gunners at 5:00pm.<\/p>\n

In Wondai, Barambah will play Nanango in the women’s game at 2:00pm, followed by the men’s game at 3:30pm.<\/p>\n

There will be no South Burnett United team in the Toowoomba Football competition this year, which means 2nd Division Men’s games will resume in the local competition.<\/p>\n

However, no 2nd Division Men’s games will be played in Round 1.<\/p>\n

The junior soccer competition will kick off on April 27.<\/p>\n

* * *<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In Rugby League, the fact that last year’s Premiers Nanango Stags won’t be fielding a team in A Grade this year has left just four teams in the senior competition.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The withdrawal of Nanango was first reported in February but the release of the draw for Round 1 has confirmed the sad news.<\/p>\n

Games will be played at Cherbourg, Wondai and Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

In Cherbourg, junior games between the Nanango Stags and Cherbourg Hornets will be at Jack O’Chin Oval from 9:00am.<\/p>\n

At Wondai Sportsground, the Wolves will play the Central Burnett Brumbies in junior games from 9:30am.<\/p>\n

These will be followed by the first A Grade match of the season, between the Wolves and Cherbourg Hornets, at 3:30pm.<\/p>\n

In Kingaroy,\u00a0the Red Ants will play Murgon at T.J. O’Neill Oval with junior games from 8:00am.<\/p>\n

At 3:30pm, the U18 South Burnett Eagles will play their first game for 2019 in the Toowoomba competition, facing Highfields.<\/p>\n

At 5:00pm, Kingaroy will play Murgon in A Grade.<\/p>\n

* * *<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The South Burnett Saints are still a week away from Round 1 of the Darling Downs AFL competition, but both teams will be in action this weekend with pre-season games.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Saints men’s and women’s teams will be playing trial games against the Toowoomba Tigers at Fernvale Sports Park on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The women’s game will kick off at 1:30pm followed by the men\u2019s match at 3:00pm.<\/p>\n

* * *<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The three-day\u00a0Proston Golden Spurs Campdraft\u00a0will be continuing across the weekend at the Proston Showgrounds.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Events include a Charity Maiden, children’s events, Novice and Open drafts.<\/p>\n

The Spurs is always a big event and spectators are welcome to watch the action for free.<\/p>\n

* * *<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Kingaroy Bees junior motorcycle speedway club will be holding their first Club Day for the year at their track at the Kingaroy Showgrounds on Saturday.<\/b><\/p>\n

The day has been dedicated to the memory of long-time fan Barry Stead, who died last year.<\/p>\n

Racing starts at 10:00am and spectators are more than welcome to come along to watch the Peewees, Superlites, 125cc and 250cc motorbikes in action.<\/p>\n
