May 7, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Burnett Saints men’s team kicked off their 2026 campaign in the Darling Downs AFL competition in Toowoomba last weekend.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the day didn’t go well for the visitors with the South Toowoomba Bombers dominating.<\/p>\n

This weekend, the men will be on the road again, taking on Warwick at Warwick.<\/p>\n

The Saints’ women team had a far better weekend in their Round 2 game, defeating the Bombers 10.9-69 to 3.0-18.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Goals were kicked by Alisha Fagg (2), Reanna Fenton (2), Aleisha Collins, Elizabeth Porter, Hayley Ellison, Jalara Wagner, Nicole Gunston and Teresa Foster.<\/p>\n

The women have a bye this weekend; they’ll next be in action at the big Heritage Day round in Kingaroy on May 16.<\/p>\n

Deegan Johannessen kicked four goals in Saints U13s Mixed game last Saturday and also turned out with the U15s team.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He was named “Player’s Player” in both games.<\/p>\n

Saints U13s 4.8-32 put in a strong performance against Bombers 8.16-64.<\/p>\n

Under 15s went down against Bombers 21.10-136 to 4.3-27.<\/p>\n

Saints’ Under 11s will have their first game on Sunday in Toowoomba against Coolaroo.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
