April 25, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite big hopes at the end of last season that 2024 might be “their year”, the South Burnett Thrashers rugby union team won’t be hitting the field.<\/p>\n

Club president Jamie Shirlaw made the sad announcement this week that the team won’t be a part of this year’s Darling Downs competition.<\/p>\n

“The Thrashers regretfully announce their withdrawal from the 2024 season,” Jamie said.<\/p>\n

“We thank everyone for their support during our brief return to competition.<\/p>\n

“This is but a temporary break as we regroup and regrow the club.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The club previously folded in 2014 due to a shortage of players but came back to life in 2022 in the Darling Downs C Grade competition.<\/p>\n

They were shifted up to B Grade for the 2023 season and made it through to the Preliminary Final before going down to Goondiwindi.<\/p>\n

A lack of players is believed to be behind the decision to withdraw from the 2024 competition, where they had again been pencilled in for B Grade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
