FLASHBACK: The Kingaroy Red Ants go pink at the last annual Pink Day at T.J. O’Neill Oval in 2019<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

June 4, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kingaroy Red Ants rugby league club is holding its annual Pink Day at T.J. O’Neill Oval on Saturday – so expect an explosion of pink on and off the field!<\/p>\n

There will be a jumping castle, face painting, fairy floss, slush puppies, cake\/lolly stall and helium balloons as well as a jam-packed round of junior and senior games from 8:00am through to the two A Grade games at night.<\/p>\n

The day is a fundraiser for cancer research, and is always a huge day for the Red Ants club and its volunteer team.<\/p>\n

But Kingaroy’s senior team also has another reason to celebrate.<\/p>\n

The A Grade side is coming off an historic win in Round 9 of the South Burnett competition.<\/p>\n

Last weekend at Cherbourg, Kingaroy downed the Nanango Stags in 30-20 – the first loss the Nanango A Grade side has incurred this season.<\/p>\n

It’s also the first loss the Stags A Graders have suffered since they defeated Kingaroy 48-0 in the 2018 South Burnett Grand Final.<\/p>\n

The Stags didn’t field a senior team in the 2019 competition and the 2020 competition was cancelled due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to former Cherbourg Hornet Selwyn Cobbo who made his NRL debut for the Broncos on Thursday night against St George Illawarra.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The game didn’t go Brisbane’s way but it was still a huge night for Selwyn, who played on the wing.<\/p>\n

Selwyn played his junior football with the Hornets and was selected for multiple schoolboys and district rep sides as a youngster.<\/p>\n

The former Murgon State High School captain has been described as a “teen sensation” by Fox Sports and a “boom backline sensation” by the Courier-Mail.<\/p>\n

His old school posted a photo of Selwyn on social media this week, taken when he was in Year 10.<\/p>\n

The photo shows Selwyn’s career dream chalked on to a blackboard: “I want to be a professional rugby league player in the NRL and play for the Brisbane Broncos!”<\/p>\n

You’ve done it!<\/p>\n
