It was a big day for these Wondai Wolves … Houstyn Kenny (Under 6s), Amanda Wagner, Josie Burke (Under 8s), Danyelle Kenny and Dallas Kenny (Under 8s)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

July 20, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

There were a lot of tired young rugby league players – and even more tired adult volunteers – at the end of the annual Wondai Wolves Mini Mods carnival at Wondai Sportsground.<\/p>\n

More than 500 games were played across 11 fields, from Under 6s through to Under 12s.<\/p>\n

As well as local South Burnett clubs, there were teams from across southern and central Queensland, including Bundaberg, Burpengary, Childers, Hervey Bay, Jimboomba, Lowood, Maryborough, Tarampa and Torbanlea.<\/p>\n

Almost 120 teams took part in the event on July 11, each\u00a0 accompanied by proud parents as well as managers, coaches and support staff.<\/p>\n

Then there were all the referees and linespeople.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, there are no scores kept in junior league games, but players from each team were selected to receive\u00a0“Spirit of the Carnival” awards.<\/p>\n

The size (and success) of the day can be seen by the statistics that the Wolves posted on social media: 600+ burgers, \u00a01800+ hot chips, 1200 nuggets, 400 hotdogs, 250 pies and sausage rolls and 1500+ drinks!<\/p>\n
