March 10, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

The countdown has begun for the South Burnett’s new Australian Rules footy team to take to the paddock.<\/p>\n

The Saints seniors will be playing a pre-season game at Pomona next Sunday and then the following Saturday, they’ll play another trial at Bribie Island.<\/p>\n

Round 1 of the competition will get under way on April 6 when the South Burnett Saints take on Lockyer Valley at Gatton.<\/p>\n

Coach Steve Humbler told southburnett.com.au<\/strong> today he had a squad of about 30 players to choose from for the games.<\/p>\n

“I’ll be rotating the blokes around through the games,” he said.<\/p>\n

Skill levels vary from players who have Australian Rules experience – including former members of the Kingaroy-Nanango Jets – to virtual newcomers to the game.<\/p>\n

Coaches have also been appointed for U8s, U10s, U12s and U14s teams.<\/p>\n
