Rugby league trial games were played in Wondai and Kingaroy on Saturday … Byron Yesberg’s game (and possibly season) for the Wolves ended in the first five minutes of the match against the Gayndah Gladiators when he badly injured his ankle in this tackle; Gayndah went on to win 24-22<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There’s another big weekend of rugby league coming up in the South Burnett, this time honouring the memory of one of the local greats of the game.<\/p>\n

The Frank Fisher Cup will be played on Saturday and Sunday at Jack O’Chin Oval in Cherbourg.<\/p>\n

The Queensland Rugby League has joined with the South Burnett Rugby League to host this inaugural QRL Central Region event.<\/p>\n

It has been named in honour of legendary Cherbourg sportsman – and proud Birri Gubba man – Frank “Bigshot” Fisher who twice played against a touring Great Britain side in the 1930s (see below).<\/p>\n

Indigenous teams will be travelling from across the Central region to take part.<\/p>\n

The games on Saturday and Sunday follow a lead-up week of activities at local schools and clubs focussing on resilience, respect, health and well-being.<\/p>\n

Former NRL players including Preston Campbell planned visits to St Patrick’s Nanango; Wheatlands, Moffatdale, Cherbourg and Murgon State schools; and Cherbourg, Wondai, Kingaroy and Murgon clubhouses.<\/p>\n

On Saturday morning, a special NRL clinic will be held on Jack O’Chin Oval for young players aged 6-14.<\/p>\n

The first 100 children to register and turn up will receive a free shirt.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To register, contact Wawida Collins at\u00a0Cherbourg Council on (07) 4168-1866.<\/p>\n

On Saturday evening, there will be a barbecue at the oval from 7:00pm with live music by Muddy Flats.<\/p>\n
