Sadly, the Blackbutt Yarraman Timbertowners haven’t been seen on a footy field since 2013<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

February 5, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Blackbutt-Yarraman Rugby League Club’s touch football competition – which they will be running this year instead of having a Timbertown team in the South Burnett league competition – will get underway next Monday (February 9).<\/p>\n

The competition will be played at the league grounds, Ian \u201cBunny\u201d Pearce Oval.<\/p>\n

Juniors (aged 5-14 years) will kick off at 5:00pm with Opens (men’s, women’s and mixed teams) from 6:00pm.<\/p>\n

Players of all experience levels are welcome to join in.<\/p>\n

Blackbutt-Yarraman did not have enough players to field teams in the 2015 South Burnett rugby league competition and at one stage it was feared the club might fold.<\/p>\n

However, it has remained affiliated and Club President Barry Richardson told southburnett.com.au<\/strong> recently that he was hopeful the Timbertowners would return to the competition at some time in the future if more players become available locally.<\/p>\n

The touch competition is six-a-side and will be run for six weeks on Monday nights. Cost is $5 per person per game.<\/p>\n

Food and drinks will be available at the ground.<\/p>\n
