Andrew Hewitt breaks away to score for Nanango at the start of the second half against Wondai<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

April 2, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rugby league fans headed to Wondai on Saturday to see the Wolves in action for the first time in 2021.<\/p>\n

The local side had a bye in Round 1 but came up against a rampaging Nanango Stags in Round 2.<\/p>\n

The Stags have had a two-year break from the South Burnett competition after winning the 2018 A Grade competition 48-0 against Kingaroy … they were missing in action in 2019, and then their planned 2020 campaign was wiped out by the pandemic cancellation.<\/p>\n

In 2021’s Round 1, Nanango proved they are still a handful, downing Kingaroy again, this time 40-12.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Wondai scored two tries in the first half, but the Stags were just too strong, running away for a\u00a0 72-16 victory after leading 38-10 at half-time.<\/p>\n

The clash topped off a big day of league at Wondai Sportsground, starting with juniors in the morning, two Under 14s games and then the A Grade double-header.<\/p>\n

In the first A Grade game, Kingaroy defeated Cherbourg in a game closer than the final scoreline of 34-20 indicated.<\/p>\n

At half-time, Kingaroy was ahead 18-16.<\/p>\n

The heat knocked both sides around in the second half, with all players grateful when the final siren sounded.<\/p>\n
