Coaching Boost And Competitive Action Across Juniors And Open Teams For Burdekin Touch

Burdekin Touch is hitting the ground running, with a fresh crop of coaches and teams ready to make their mark this season.

A recent Foundation Touch Football coaching course in Ayr saw 16 local members sharpen their skills, setting the stage for strong performances on and off the field.

Those who successfully finished the course were Neil Inman, Julie, Riley and Kasey Dobe, Angela and Mia Robertson, Lawrence Lampton, Allyce Becke, Brooke Cavanagh, Heather Desbois, Brendan Ford, Peter Murray, Ian Kerr, Bob Clerke, Bruce Johnson, and Peter Knapton.

With the Northern Junior Touch State Cup set for Townsville from 16 to 18 June, the Burdekin Touch Association plans to send teams in U10, U12, U14, U16, and U18 divisions. Juniors interested in representing Burdekin will be advised of upcoming selection dates.

Meanwhile, the Coutt’ Commercial Tavern Men’s and Women’s Open Touch pre-season competition saw One Touch IT and BAYWatch finish on top of the men’s standings, while Eathorne’s Princesses and First in Physio lead the women’s competition. These teams will now contest the pre-season finals.
