The Burdekin will again become a regional touch football hub next month, with the annual Burdekin Mixed Touch Football Carnival set to bring teams from across North Queensland to Ayr on 29 August for a full day of competition, cash prizes and community sport.

‍

The carnival will feature visiting sides from Whitsunday, Bowen, and Townsville alongside local Burdekin teams, competing across three divisions: Open Mixed, Mixed Seniors Over 35, and Mixed Under 16. Organisers are expecting a strong turnout as teams chase both silverware and prize money in one of the region’s key touch football events.

Alongside the main competition, the day will also include sprint events and a shootout contest, adding an extra layer of entertainment for players and spectators.

Team entry is set at a $30 nomination fee, with a $20 player fee applying for participants. Organisers are encouraging early registrations to secure spots across all divisions.

‍

Teams can nominate by emailing burdekintouch4807@gmail.com or texting 0437 710 500 for further information.

‍

In addition to the carnival, preparations are underway for the upcoming Burdekin Mixed Touch Football season, which will begin with pre-season games on 15 July. Team registrations are currently open via the Burdekin Touch website.

‍

Meanwhile, junior development continues to grow, with nominations for the Wednesday Under 14 Mixed Touch Football competition opening on 22 July.
