SIX
members of the ADF touch football side are competing with the
Australian team in Europe after time in South Africa.
The team was selected following the Australian Touch Association
national championships played at Coffs Harbour earlier this year,
at which the ADF Touch Association (ADFTA) entered five teams.
The six ADF members who were selected in the Australian team left
Sydney on June 19 and completed 11 days in South Africa conducting
training camps for the under-privileged and competing against
local teams.
The team then travelled to London for practice matches against
local sides and are now in the Channel Islands competing in the
European Championships. Flight Sergeant Reservist John Samin was
selected to play in the Australian men’s senior side.
He has played in an Australian side previously and is providing
valuable guidance to those who have not yet had the experience.
FSGT Mick Lennon and FSGT Jed Murray were selected to play in
the Australian men’s masters side.
