Both South Burnett and University know what is up for grabs in the Division 2 men’s qualifying final in Kingaroy on Sunday … win and you will automatically progress to the 2014 decider, simple?<\/p>\n

Easier said than done.<\/p>\n

However, both sides have the firepower and leaders to come out on top.<\/p>\n

This will be the Cougars first trip north to Kingaroy to face the Saints and it will be a daunting task.<\/p>\n

The Saints have won six out of seven games at home with an average winning margin of 117 points.<\/p>\n

South Burnett will also be buoyant with the Saints marching to victory in the only encounter between these top two sides.<\/p>\n

When the Saints and Cougars met back in Round 15, South Burnett ran out 13.13 (91) to 8.10 (58) victors at Baker Street.<\/p>\n

Adam Bowater was the destroyer that day, kicking a match-winning six majors with the Saints leading for the entire game.<\/p>\n

Veteran Scott Sowerby has been a rock up forward for the Cougars 2s, with the 400+ game seasoned campaigner the most consistent Uni player in front of the sticks.<\/p>\n

With the University 1s having the bye, no doubt a few fringe players will look to get the extra run in their legs before next week\u2019s big Division 1 qualifying final, however not many Division 1 players have qualified for finals so it will interesting to see which side will take the field.<\/p>\n

South Burnett Saints will take on University Cougars at Lyle Vidler Oval on Sunday with the bounce at 2:30pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
