July 10, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s been a busy couple of weeks for the Wondai Wolves … last Saturday it was their annual Old Boys Day and this weekend they’re hosting the massive Mini Mods Carnival!<\/p>\n

There will be more almost 120 teams – with players aged from Under 6 through to Under 12 – their supporters and families taking over the fields at the Wondai Sportsground.<\/p>\n

More than 550 games are scheduled to be played.<\/p>\n

Last Saturday former Wondai players turned out in force for the Old Boys reunion, swapping memories in the clubhouse and creating a guard of honour for the 2026 Wolves as they entered the field to take on the Cherbourg Hornets.<\/p>\n

Out on the paddock, the Wolves put on a brave display against the Hornets.<\/p>\n

The teams were tied 24-all at half-time but finally Wondai finally went down 36-24 after letting in two late tries.<\/p>\n

Footnote: Round 2 of the Cobbo-Fuller Rugby League Cup will be played from 3:00pm this Saturday at the Eidsvold Showgrounds in the “Battle Of The Burnett” clash between senior players from\u00a0 South Burnett and Central Burnett clubs.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
