CELEBRATION: Willowburn's Trent Donovan reacts after scoring against USQ on Sunday. Nev Madsen WILLOWBURN took out the Football Toowoomba Premier Men's President's Cup but was made to work for it against USQ on Sunday at Newtown.
USQ held a 2-1 lead in the first half but Willowburn managed to lift and took out the game 4-2 to keep intact its perfect winning streak this season.
The Students put in an own goal early in the game but also scored two goals of their own in three minutes through Kyle Tonkin and Muhammed Isbil to hold a 2-1 lead.
The USQ midfield was on top but some individual brilliance from Nathan Stark helped Willowburn equalise before half-time.
The Magpies then put in two more goals in the second half to take the 4-2 victory, but not before USQ showed this season wasn't a one-horse race.
"They were happy with the way they had to do it," Willowburn coach Stephen Pennells said of his team's attitude towards the win. "They were happy to fight for it. It meant more to them that they had to work for it."
Willowburn now has a big challenge of backing up tonight against Laidley in the semi-final of the Winstanley Shield, with the game being played at Commonwealth Oval.
Willowburn couldn't take out the President's Cup double though as Rockville handed the Magpies a 3-0 loss in the Premier Women's match thanks to a hat-trick from Amber Jennings.
