The Burdekin Mixed Touch Football competition is back for another exciting season, with pre-season games now underway at the Wickham Street fields.
Eleven teams have nominated so far, including East Ayr, First in Physio, Jigsaw, Nrgize, Petrol Heads, Pink Piggies, Redskins, Renegades, Royal Touch, Slush Puppies, and Touch n Tease. Pre-season games will continue over the next two Wednesdays before the official season kicks off on the 13th of August, which also marks the final day for team nominations.
The upcoming season will feature 14 rounds, culminating in a Grand Final on December 5. Defending A Grade champions Can’t Touch This will be aiming to retain their crown after narrowly defeating Nrgize in last year’s thrilling final.
Teams can register online via www.burdekintouch.com.au by clicking “Register” and following the prompts.
Individuals looking to join a team are encouraged to come down to the fields on Wednesday evenings and enquire at the canteen.
The Mixed Under 14s competition also returns next Wednesday with a second sign-on session for both teams and individual players at 5pm. Interested players can see Bob Clerke or Bruce Johnson at the canteen for more information.
Nominations are also open for the annual Mixed Touch Carnival on Saturday, August 23. Divisions include Under 16, Open, and Over 39s. To nominate a team, contact Peter on 0437 710 500.
