Warriors
impress at national titles
By
Cpl Cameron Jamieson
THE ADF's touch footballers, the Defence Warriors, have wowed the
National Touch League at Coffs Harbour NSW.
One
hundred ADF personnel, including 10 referees, were sent to the competition.
Five
teams were fielded altogether - a women's over 30 team and men's
over 30, 35, 40 and 50 teams.
Overall
the combined Defence Warriors teams came 13th out of 18 franchises,
their best effort ever at the national level.
The
national competition is the biggest event that any Defence player
can play in under the ADF banner
It
is from this competition that an Australian side will be selected
to compete in the European Championship later this year.
RAAF
Reserve Sgt John Samin, received the men's over 35's player of the
series award
Four
ADF members have been offered a place in the Australian teams to
compete in Europe.
WO2
Greg Taylor has been selected as the Senior Team Manager, an example
of how valuable ADF management skills are to civilian organisations.
The
ADF Touch Association is keen to attract more players of all ages.
There
are lunchtime competitions held in numerous locations across the
country and as the results show, you're never to old to get in touch.
