With two rounds of the South Burnett Rugby League competition left to play, Kingaroy Red Ants look to have secured the Minor Premiership for 2023.<\/p>\n

Kingaroy has won eight of its 10 games so far this year, including last Saturday.<\/p>\n

They dialled up their performance in the second half to down the Hornets 32-20 at Cherbourg.<\/p>\n

This Saturday, the Red Ants are coming up against Murgon at Murgon Sportsground.<\/p>\n

There should be a big home crowd barracking for the Mustangs as it is the club’s special Over 35s Day, where former players will be pulling on their boots to relive past glories.<\/p>\n

The Over 35s fun will start at 1:20pm when Murgon will play Goomeri, followed by Wondai v Kingaroy at 2:00pm.<\/p>\n

There are also two A Grade games scheduled, as well as an Under 14s game and a full round of junior games (see below).<\/p>\n

And, don’t forget, the Red Ants have their special “Pink Day” fundraising day scheduled for the following Saturday (August 12) at T.J. O’Neill Oval in Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

Saturday is also going to be a big day for the South Burnett Eagles who will be taking on the Hervey Bay Seagulls in the Qualifying Final of the Bundaberg Under 18s competition at Salter Oval.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Eagles finished in third spot at the end of the regular rounds, while the Seagulls were ranked second.<\/p>\n

The sides have met three times this season, with two victories to the South Burnett.<\/p>\n
