Wynnum-Manly on the attack close to the Tweed Heads line<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

August 11, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wynnum-Manly took home the competition points but local rugby league was the real winner after the Intrust Super Cup match played in Kingaroy on Sunday.<\/p>\n

South Burnett Rugby League president Greg Pomfret said it had been a fantastic turnout at TJ O’Neill Oval with 2400 people through the gate plus about 500 guests in the special corporate area.<\/p>\n

He said he had already started making approaches in the hope the Burnett would be able to host another Intrust Super Cup match in future, possibly in Cherbourg \/ Murgon or at Gayndah.<\/p>\n

“Today is something that we can build on in future years,” he said.<\/p>\n

Triumphant Wynnum-Manly coach Jon Buchanan was also full of praise for the “Get in the Game Country Week” QRL promotion which saw a string of Intrust Super Cup matches played this weekend in rural areas.<\/p>\n

“The players love it,” he said.<\/p>\n

Buchanan said the facilities at TJ O’Neill Oval were “fantastic” and the ground had a “really good atmosphere”.<\/p>\n

The Intrust Super Cup match was played between\u00a0two top-five Queensland sides, the Wynnum-Manly Seagulls and the Tweed Heads Seagulls, and was broadcast live on Channel 9.<\/p>\n

Wynnum-Manly proved too strong on the day, flying away with a 32-4 win (see match report, below<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Most South Burnett football clubs were involved somehow on the day with U8s from Nanango, Cherbourg and Kingaroy in action before the TV match and at half-time, and two A Grade matches (Kingaroy v Wondai; and Cherbourg v Murgon) also played.<\/p>\n

Local clubs also manned food and souvenir stalls around the grounds.<\/p>\n
