\"Wests<\/a>
Spectators were treated to some action-packed matches in the second weekend of this year’s South Burnett Evolution Solar Football League competition on Saturday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\nFootball South Burnett<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Senior football returned to Wondai for the first time in well over a decade on the weekend, and it marked a happy occasion for Barambah who pulled off the majority of wins.<\/p>\n

Barambah won in both men\u2019s divisions while the women – short of three players – fought gallantly.<\/p>\n

After a few days of soaking rain, the pitch was in great condition and the Barambah Club did very well in preparing it.<\/p>\n

However the sun came out with a vengeance on Saturday, which meant the games were played in hot, muggy conditions.<\/p>\n

In Second Division, Wests fronted with a very young and enthusiastic team, while Barambah also had a few young faces.<\/p>\n

But it didn’t take long for Barambah to hit the lead when Peter Janz headed a ball into the path of John Shaw, who buried it into the back of the net.<\/p>\n

Then in the 16th minute Andrew Cook scored from a shot that rebounded off the crossbar to equalise for Wests.<\/p>\n

Scores were level at half time and it was anyone’s game, with the action running from end to end.<\/p>\n

But in the 63rd minute John Shaw scored his second, which put paid to West’s chances.<\/p>\n

The game was evenly balanced, but in the end the experience of the Barambah side paid off.<\/p>\n

Ryan Nicholson was outstanding for Barambah, along with fellow youngster Sam Kemp and John Shaw.<\/p>\n

For Wests, Harry Pratt, Andrew Cook and Aiden Penford had great games.<\/p>\n

A shortage of players left Barambah at a disadvantage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the Women\u2019s match, Barambah fronted with only eight players due to other commitments. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Wests started attacking from the start of the game but their finishing and final pass let them down.<\/p>\n

Barambah\u2019s dogged defence stood strong, and they held Wests scoreless for the first half.<\/p>\n

Six minutes into the second half, Wests finally found their way through the Barambah defence.<\/p>\n

They busted the offside trap with Courtney Thompson scoring.<\/p>\n

Then in the 59th minute, Kerrie Thompson found her way through the now weary Barambah defence to make it 2-0 to Wests.<\/p>\n

Barambah can be proud of the way they played and should do better when they have a full squad.<\/p>\n

Best for Wests were Cassie Firman, Minna Black and Courtney Thompson.<\/p>\n

Lauren Clarke, Elle Mollenhauer and Sarah Vanderkolk were Barambah\u2019s pick.<\/p>\n

\"Wests<\/a>
Wests and Barambah both put on spectacular displays in Saturday’s clash at Wondai<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Both Wests and Barambah were without key players for the First Division match, but that didn’t stop them putting on a great spectacle. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Barambah hit the lead just four minutes into the game when Brendan Kelly ran on to a deft pass, which surprised the Wests’ defence.<\/p>\n

And a minute later Barambah scored again, this time by Chris O\u2019Loughlin from a beautifully weighted cross from Brendan Kelly.<\/p>\n

At this stage the Wests’ defence looked shell-shocked as they had trouble containing the two Barambah forwards.<\/p>\n

However Wests slowly started clawing their way back into the game and were unlucky not to score through newly promoted Callum Allery.<\/p>\n

In the 41st minute, Barambah’s O\u2019Loughlin scored from a corner to give his side a 3-0 lead at halftime.<\/p>\n

And a minute after half-time, Wests surprised Barambah when Callum Allery pulled one back, finishing off from a nice pass from Brendan Young.<\/p>\n

This gave Wests a boost of confidence and it seemed they were starting to get the upper hand, but some poor finishing let them down.<\/p>\n

In the 97th minute, Brendan Kelly completed his brace and put the result beyond doubt after latching onto a cross.<\/p>\n

Best for Barambah were Chris O\u2019Loughlin, Brendan Kelly, Dan Kelly and Andrew Jensen.<\/p>\n

For Wests, Callum Allery, Gary Favier, Mauro Buzzo and Bryan Phillips-Petersen had good games.<\/p>\n

\"Panthers<\/a>
Damien Corson’s goal in the 55th minute proved to be a match winner for the Panthers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In Kingaroy, Nanango’s Panthers took on Gunners in the 2nd and Women’s Divisions on Saturday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The First Division match has been rescheduled to Tuesday night because some of Nanango’s First Division players had to attend a social function on Saturday, and the team asked Gunners for a deferral.<\/p>\n

Even so, the Panthers continued their winning ways.<\/p>\n

2nd Division notched up their first win of the season after last week’s 1-all draw against Barambah; and the formidable Women’s Division had another high-scoring victory.<\/p>\n
