The 2014 President’s Cup was played in Kingaroy on Saturday afternoon, and the Nanango Panthers made a clean sweep of it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The President’s Cup is a mid-season competition where the top two teams after two rounds (ie. after each team has played each other twice) play against one other.<\/p>\n

It’s a special event, and the weekly Evolution Solar South Burnett Football League competition took a one-week holiday to accommodate it.<\/p>\n

The Cup always provides a great day of football, and a very good crowd turned out at Tom Alford Oval to watch the region’s current top squads battle it out.<\/p>\n

The first match of the afternoon was the Second Division clash, with Barambah up against Nanango. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Barambah got off to a good start when Brendan Kelly put them ahead in the 5th minute, but were caught napping in the 18th minute when Damien Corson latched on to a through ball to equalise.<\/p>\n

Then in the 26th minute, David Ashby found some space out wide and ran in with only the keeper to beat to give Nanango a 2-1 lead.<\/p>\n

But in the 34th minute – when Barambah were awarded a penalty – John Shaw made no mistake to put his side level.<\/p>\n

This to-ing and fro-ing kept the match reasonably even in the first half, but cracks started to appear in the Barambah defence soon after the break.<\/p>\n

Five minutes into the second half, Ayden Connolly broke through Barambah’s offside trap and only had the keeper to beat to give the lead back to Nanango.<\/p>\n

Then three minutes later, it was Connolly again who collected the ball in front of goal and spun around two defenders to score.<\/p>\n

Nanango went even further ahead and put the result out of doubt when Karl Pichlis scored in the 71st minute.<\/p>\n

Barambah would have been disappointed with this result, especially with their defence.<\/p>\n

But Nanango did well and won with the pace of their youngsters.<\/p>\n

Best for Nanango was Ayden Connolly who looked dangerous every time he got the ball, while Sam Kemp was Barambah\u2019s best.<\/p>\n

Panthers’ Women’s Division had a narrow win over Wests, and were keen to show their claws<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Women\u2019s Division match between Nanango and Wests was a bit of an arm wrestle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But it was Nanango that took one of the rare opportunities in the game when Cassie Evans scored from a Wests’ goalmouth mistake in the 11th minute.<\/p>\n

As things turned out, this was the only real opportunity Nanango had to score in a game that turned out to be one of the most evenly matched of the day.<\/p>\n

Neither side stamped their authority on this game, and neither team settled down to play smart football.<\/p>\n

All the same, both sides really put their hearts into it and it proved an exciting – if at times frustrating – game to watch.<\/p>\n

Both teams had a couple of chances, too, but in the end it was a 1-0 win to Nanango.<\/p>\n

Maxine Evans was best on the park for the Panthers, while Katrina Parsons was the day’s best for Wests.<\/p>\n

\"Panthers<\/a>
The Panthers’ First Division side also showed their claws in a hard-paced, closely fought match<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nanango were favoured to win the First Division match against Barambah.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But Barambah have been a thorn in Nanango\u2019s side over the past couple of years and if anyone was going to pull off a surprise win against the Panthers, it was them.<\/p>\n

Both sides played good attacking football.<\/p>\n

Nanango went ahead in the 9th minute through a screamer from Kieran Askin.<\/p>\n

Both teams had a few chances to score in the first half but on a whole it was a battle in the midfield.<\/p>\n

Seven minutes into the second half Nanango struck again – this time through Kieran Mangan.<\/p>\n

Barambah was still in the game but they were unable to find any to break through Nanango\u2019s stoic defence.<\/p>\n

In the end, the match finished with a 2-0 win to Nanango but Barambah can hold their heads high as their team continues to improve week after week.<\/p>\n

Best on the park for Nanango was Kieran Askin and for Barambah, Sheldon Livingston was Barambah\u2019s best.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Nanango on yet another milestone achievement.<\/p>\n
