Battle on for young & old in touch footy games

Another two rounds of Busselton Touch Football’s summer mixed competition have been completed, with plenty of thrilling moments across the matches.

The newly formed C division has been providing plenty of entertainment for onlookers.

We had an enthralling battle between two of our newest teams, Young ‘N’ Old and Fiddlers.

Both teams are primarily made up of young rugby players and their parents.

Young ‘N’ Old got the chocolates this time, but Fiddlers will be eagerly awaiting the rematch.

The highly anticipated Round 4 match up between Pretty in Pink and Capel Nuts and Jugs definitely delivered, as the two teams couldn’t be separated, the game finishing in a 4-4 draw.

Here Comes the Run have been showing exponential improvement, and they used their youthful pace to blow Fiddlers off the park in their Round 4 encounter.

Hawaii Try-O have started the year with two wins and two losses, but certainly look to be enjoying themselves each time they take the field.

In B division, Must Tag Sally look to have gotten their season back on track.

After dropping their first three games, last year’s Grand Finalists recorded a large win against Fitstoppers in Round 4.

Perennial powerhouses Mariners and Golden Oldies had a titanic clash, in a game with plenty of passion and skill on show from both teams.

Mariners snuck home to take the win 10-8 and continue their climb towards the top of the ladder.

BeetleJuice found it hard going against the undefeated A division team Outlaws, but Taleisha Cann may lay claim to being the fastest female player in the competition, scoring two tries, one a length of the field intercept where she showed a very clean pair of heels.

It wasn’t enough as a short handed Outlaws claimed a 12-5 victory to stay at the top of the competition ladder.

Falcons have bounced back after a shaky start to the season, and also recorded a win over Dynowhites to remain one game behind Outlaws on the table.

Outlaws meet Falcons in a Round 6 showdown, a replay of last year’s A division Grand Final, where Falcons will be looking to avenge last season’s decider.

Round 5 action will take place on Thursday 9 November at Barnard Park from 5:40pm.
