Brownlow Medallist and triple premiership player Jason Akermanis will be the special guest at the South Burnett Saints’ annual Heritage Day on May 25.<\/p>\n

Akermanis played more than 300 games – and kicked 421 goals – for the Brisbane Bears, Brisbane Lions and Western Bulldogs during his 15-year AFL career.<\/p>\n

The Heritage Day at Lyle Vidler Oval in Kingaroy will feature games against Warwick (men) and Toowoomba Tigers (women).<\/p>\n

The Saints will also be unveiling their new “old” heritage jersey, featuring the first ever strip worn by a South Burnett Aussie Rules team, back in 1981.<\/p>\n

The team’s old Heritage jumpers will be auctioned off that night at the Carrollee Hotel as a fundraiser for the club.<\/p>\n

The Saints’ slow start to the 2019 season continued at the weekend when they travelled to Toowoomba to play the South Toowoomba Bombers in the Darling Downs AFL competition.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The final score was 19.15-129 to 6.9-45.<\/p>\n

South Burnett goals were kicked by Jarryd Hill (2), Adam Bowater (2), Sheldon Webber and Russell Thompson.<\/p>\n

The South Burnett team, who have lost three from three so far, will be hoping their luck improves at home this weekend.<\/p>\n

The Saints will host old rivals, the Chinchilla Suns, on Saturday at Lyle Vidler Oval in Kingaroy at 3:30pm.<\/p>\n

Round 1 of the Darling Downs women’s competition will begin this weekend when the South Burnett Saints travel to Toowoomba to take on South Toowoomba.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
