The combined ACT-NSW Country teams contested three of the four finals
and won two at the 15th Australian Defence Touch Championships at RAAF
Williams Laverton last year.
ACT/NSW Country won the men’s 40s final 4-1 against South Qld and
the women’s open 5-2 against South Qld but was edged 5-4 by Southern
States in the men’s 30s. Combined ACT/NSW also was named champion
region.
In the men’s open final, North Qld beat Sydney Metro 7-5.
Defence teams from North Qld, South Qld, Sydney, ACT/NSW Country and Southern
States competed, along with a number of individual players who attended
from Northern Territory and North Qld and were allocated to various teams.
In all, 275 Army, Navy, Air Force and Defence civilians took part.
Selectors will use the national titles to help them select teams for events
in the first half of this year.
In January the ADTA men’s and women’s open and men’s 30s
went to New Zealand for the New Zealand Defence Championships, followed
by a carnival near Auckland.
The ADTA senior mixed, men’s 30s and 40s, will contest the nationals
in Coffs Harbour in March and a squad of 35 will play in the NSW Country
men’s and women’s open titles at Dubbo in May.
