July 13, 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

The South Burnett Thrashers have taken delivery of a scrum machine which should make their on-field performances this year in the Darling Downs rugby union competition even more devastating.<\/p>\n

The 1.6 tonne piece of equipment was donated to the club by Westpac and the Queensland Reds, and has been completely refurbished after doing service with the Gympie Hammers.<\/p>\n

The handover was only one of many highlights of the Thrashers’ “Old Boys” day in Kingaroy last Saturday.<\/p>\n

The celebration of all things rugby began with a game between the South Burnett Old Boys and the Brisbane-based Wests Bullfrogs.<\/p>\n

The game began with a traditional nip of port given to all the players.<\/strong><\/p>\n

No one seemed to be keeping score … but no one seemed to be worrying about that, either (although the Thrashers did run in the most tries).<\/p>\n

“The real winner was rugby,” Thrashers president Jamie Shirlaw said.<\/p>\n

Four current Queensland Reds players – Liam Wright, Zane Nonggorr, Josh Nasser and Angus Blyth – made the trip to Kingaroy to support the day.<\/p>\n

They were accompanied by two former Wallabies, Bill Ross and Guy Shepherdson, and the Queensland Reds mascot, Rusty the Koala.<\/p>\n

After the Old Boys limped off T.J. O’Neill Oval, the Thrashers’ current team took to the paddock to take on the Chinchilla River Rats in their Round 11 game.<\/p>\n

This was another decisive victory for the South Burnett team who notched up a 36-5 victory over the visitors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sata Tale starred, scoring three of the Thrashers’ six tries.<\/p>\n

But the day of celebrations did not end there.<\/p>\n

A total of 55 people attended an Old Boys Dinner held on Saturday night at the Kingaroy Hotel, which doubled as a 30th anniversary celebration for the club.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The day was a fantastic success,” Jamie said. “A lot of people came back for it.”<\/p>\n

Two autographed rugby jerseys were also auctioned, raising funds for the club.<\/p>\n

Next weekend, the Thrashers will be hitting the road again, heading to St George to take on the Roma Echidnas.<\/p>\n
