February 5, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kingaroy Senior Soccer Club’s massive Soccer Sevens carnival wrapped up on Sunday afternoon after two days of sizzling action across five fields.<\/p>\n

The games were hotly contested but the temperature also tested players and spectators, with only a brief shower of rain providing some relief on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The annual event has always been popular with south-east Queensland clubs, but numbers were up this year.<\/p>\n

There were a total of 57 teams competing: 24 in the Men’s competition, 15 in the Women’s and 18 in the Over 35s.<\/p>\n

The men’s and women’s teams were competing for cash prizes, while the Over 35s had their eyes set on the prize of free beer!<\/p>\n

After two days of play, 24 teams had made it through to the Quarter-Finals (see below).<\/b><\/p>\n

It was then down to semi-finals and the grand finals, played on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Although several local teams contested the semi-finals, only one South Burnett team made it through to the Grand Final … Barambah which took on Highfields Gold in the Women’s event.<\/p>\n

At half-time, Highfields were ahead 1-0 and despite Barambah’s efforts that remained the score at full-time.<\/p>\n

The Men’s Grand Final was between Crop Dusters and Blackstone Rovers.<\/p>\n

At half-time, the teams were locked at 1-all but Blackstone scored twice more to take the final score to 3-1.<\/p>\n

The Over 35s Grand Final was between Gympie United OGs and Cap Coast Texans.<\/p>\n

Neither found the net during regular play, which forced a tense penalty shootout which Cap Coast won 5-4.<\/p>\n
