TOUCH STARTS BACK THIS WEEK

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
We hope you've all had a good summer break.

Reminder that Touch starts back this Tuesday 8th January. Please CLICK HERE to view draws.

If there are any issues with fielding a team, please let us know as soon as possible. It's not fair to other teams to inform us an hour or two before tap off, or just not showing up.
Remember, you can have as few as 4 players on field - a bit of a work out, but it has been done! For Mixed, you'll need to keep the ratio to maximum of 3 males on field.

If your team defaults, you get 0 points; but if you play, even with few numbers, you'll get at least 1 point. Could be the difference come Semi Finals time.

Tue 8th Jan Draw Change: Please note time change in Mixed Div 1 for Central Realty v Just Touch It to 6:00pm, and Touchstones XX v Chuckas to 6:40pm.
