South Burnett Thrashers’ Old Boys Day hosted a feast of rugby union action last Saturday at Kingaroy’s T.J. O’Neill Oval.<\/p>\n

First up, the Thrashers Old Boys took on a the CQ Uni “Wobblies” in a friendly game featuring old-school rivalry (and some jumper swapping).<\/p>\n

The game was played by Old Boys rules, which meant no lineouts or conversion attempts.<\/p>\n

By our count, the score was six tries all at full-time, but it could have been more …<\/p>\n

The Old Boys game was followed by a serious Round 11 B Grade game (see below) and an A Grade game from the Darling Downs competitions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It was a great day for the club to have three games of rugby being played,” club president Jamie Shirlaw said.<\/p>\n

“The Thrashers old boys who came back to either just watch or strap boots back on had a great day.<\/p>\n

“The CQU old boys stayed around for the Old Boys Dinner at the Kingaroy Hotel on Saturday night.”<\/p>\n

Jeff Iro, Ted Sikovi and Mowen Boino also scored tries, and Sata Tale kicked two conversions.<\/p>\n

In the A Grade game, the Dalby Wheatman demolished UniSQ 52-0.<\/p>\n
