The younger “Old Stags” were the eventual winners on the day<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

June 9, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nanango Stags weren’t able to pull together an A Grade team for the 2023 South Burnett Rugby League competition, but more than enough blue-and-white jumpers gathered together last Saturday for the club’s special Old Boys\u2019 Day at Fred Kassulke Oval.<\/p>\n

“Younger” Old Stags (basically under 30s) took on the “Older” Old Stags in a friendly game played across four 15-minute quarters.<\/p>\n

(We said “basically” because some of the players appeared to have swapped sides after their team photos …)<\/p>\n

A big crowd of Nanango supporters cheered on from the sidelines as the two sides ran around the park.<\/p>\n

Some of the players were fresh from earlier A Grade matches played in Kingaroy but still found extra juice in their tanks for the spectacle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At half-time the Younger Stags were ahead 12-6, and eventually won 28-18 – although the scores didn’t really matter as everyone was simply out there to have a good time.<\/p>\n

The day enabled the football club to raise some funds from across the bar, which isn’t open when junior players are on the field.<\/p>\n

The Old Boys match followed a full round of SBRL junior games from Under 6s to Under 14s which ensured a good crowd was in place for the featured game.<\/p>\n
