ADF team aims to become masters

An over-50s men’s team featuring six touch footballers from the Australian Defence Force Touch Association is set to play at the World Masters Games in Melbourne from October 8-12.

The team has been busy preparing, with training and sponsorship chasing and team spokesman WO1 Greg Chamberlain is confident of success.

He said the side has a strong nucleus of Defence players who have represented at National Touch League level, backed up by Defence civilians, one of whom is former Australian rugby league halfback Johnny Mayes from the Lismore area.

The Masters Games will also provide the team with excellent preparation for the National Touch League Seniors Championships in March next year.
