The annual Burdekin Mixed Touch football carnival saw teams from Airlie Beach, Townsville and Burdekin clash in Ayr last weekend.
Local team Nrgize with Michael Littlefield, Tramayne Horan and the Lampton family combining, defeated a very competitive NQ Under 16 girls’ team in the Open A final 5 to 3.
Another local team Renegades under the guidance of Brendan Ford and the speedy Brad Johnson were too good in the B final defeating Townsville team The Chokers 5 to 3.
The under 16 division saw some entertaining touch played throughout the day. Whitsunday proved too strong for Baywatch in the final, winning 7 to 3.
The shoot-out competition saw The Chokers win the Open division while Whitsunday won the Under 16 division.
Sprints were conducted with Burdekin players proving too swift in five of the six events.
Winners in the Open division were Kyle Vitty (Renegades) and Maddy Wallace (Nrgize), Over 39’s Michael Littlefield (Nrgize) and Tramayne Horan (Nrgize) and Under 16’s Leo Rattler (Baywatch) and Claudia Ansell (Whitsunday).
At presentations, Burdekin President Peter Knapton thanked Wilmar Sugar and the Burdekin Shire Council for their generous support.
“All carnivals need volunteers to make it a success,” said Peter Knapton.
“I cannot thank enough our hardworking cooks, canteen staff and the referees who worked tirelessly in the hot conditions, “he said.
All teams thanked the organisers and were already looking forward to returning next year.
