Touch Season Ends In Finals Fireworks

A ladies winners, First In Physio

‍

‍

The Coutt’s Commercial Tavern Men’s and Women’s Open Touch Football season concluded in spectacular fashion last Friday night, with grand finals across eight divisions.

The Men’s A Grade final was an exciting attacking spectacle, with both Crocs and Alliance Pharmacy players showing plenty of flair with the ball. Desperate defence was required at times as each team attacked relentlessly. Crocs scored a quick-fire three tries in a row and ran out winners by 9–7. KJ Zaro proved elusive, scoring five tries for Crocs.

‍

The Ladies A Grade final was a one-sided affair, with a well-drilled First in Physio team defeating Eathorne’s Princesses 11–0. The Monday twins, Stephanie and Martina, controlled the play with electrifying moves. Coach Peter Murray praised the girls for their dedication throughout the season.

The Men’s B Grade final was a decisive win for Way To Go over BAYWatch, 10–6. Dion and Leo Williams both scored two tries for Way To Go, with Dion awarded Player of the Final.

‍

Teamo Supremo battled a depleted Slush Puppies in the Men’s C Grade final, narrowly winning 5–3. Logan Guglielmana was named Player of the Final.

The Men’s D Grade final saw a youthful Burdekin PCYC side score five tries while maintaining a strong defensive line, preventing Feelers from scoring at all. Silas Doolah was named Player of the Final.

‍

‍

The Men’s E Grade final between the mainly ageless Creampuffs and a much younger Renegades resulted in a close win to Creampuffs, 4–2. J Lacey was named Player of the Final.

‍

Touch N Go took out a spirited Men’s F Grade final, with Kyle Vitty scoring four of their seven tries against Blue Murder’s five. Kyle Vitty was Player of the Final.

The Ladies B Grade final saw Salty Sirens defeat Chick Flicks 4–1. Kate Spina was named Player of the Final.

‍

President Peter Knapton thanked the referees who officiated each week, as well as the grounds directors and volunteers who worked to get the fields playable after vandalism.

‍

“Blocks are now in place to protect the fields and there are some still available for sponsorship,” he said.

‍

The mixed touch season will commence after the school holidays, with team nominations to be registered on the Burdekin Touch website.
