Keeping in Touch
GREAT touch football action was on display once again last week in our junior competition. It won’t be long until our seniors will be seeking pointers from this next generation of touch stars. The Purple Panthers and Screaming Iguanas got the afternoon underway in a spirited match with the Iguanas taking the win.
Zayne, Grace, Paige and Lucas played well for their teams. Blazers and the GSLC (girls) played a great game with Ella, Nico, Kiandra and Zayne having mighty games. The final U10 match was a battle of the Dean siblings with Aussie Rebels proving too strong for the Pink Storm this week, but I’m sure revenge will be on their minds in the next encounter. Parker, Curtis, Makayla, Zoe and Ben played strongly.
Our U12 division began with Saints taking the points against Banana Splits with Abbi, Will and Jaimaica producing strong performances. In a game that was nail biting to the very end, GSLC (girls) were ahead of the Purple Storm by just one touchdown at the siren. Morgan, Charlie, Bella and Raene showed great skill. In another display of brother-sister rivalry Gus and Pearl led their respective teams around the park before Vipers took the match. Millie and Tomas also played well.
In the U14/16 division, there were10 teams playing for bragging rights. NDSHS 8s (Mixed) just had the edge against the NDSHS 9s with Lili-Rose, Lexie and Billy playing well. GSLC (girls) went down fighting against Sunshine Rebels. Jessica, Clancy and Tyla were standouts in their game. A great spirited game was had between STCC and SBSHS with Anna, Steivy and Lily leading the way. Luke, Reuben and Hayden B played stellar games in the STCC Pansies win over GSLC (boys) and STCC (girls) had a win against NDSHS 8s. Paris, Denyta and Pip all played well.
Until the next touchdown.
