The Junior touch football team played amazingly having no losses through rounds 2-7. Round 1 was washed out due to rain but we managed to play every other round without any rain at all. The girls finished top of the ladder and they fully deserved to win the tournament. The girls did amazing with their biggest win being 12-2. All of the girls had an amazing tournament for the junior team. They made it to the semi-finals and won victoriously over Domremy. In the Final, they all did their best but couldn’t come away with the win.

Intermediate Report

The intermediate touch football team had an amazing season. Our first game of the season, We planned to play Domremy but was unfortunately washed out. But we played all other games winning every round bar one against St Vincents. We finished the meadowbank rounds tied 2nd on the ladder. It came to the semi finals and we versed Rosebank, and came out on top which meant we would play St Vincents in the finals. It was a very intense game an d at full time we were tied up. This meant we went to dropouts, starting with 4 players who played to their best ability, the girls tried their best but couldn’t come away with the win.

Thank you Ms Johns for an amazing season and congratulations girls.

Senior Report

What a season for the Woolwich Senior Touch Football Team.

The Senior Touch Football team has been together through all of the years from year 7 through to year 11. The girls worked extremely hard in 2023 using all their skills and effort week in and week out, which paid off throughout the round games at Meadowbank Park. The team won all of their games and had the skills to put on some big scores. This team not only succeeded at a high level during the round games but completed both the Semi Final and Grand final with strong performances and were crowned premiers with the mercy rule score. This meant that the team scored over 10 tries against the opposition team forcing them to forfeit. 

During the previous year the senior touch football team won the championship and this only motivated this team to get the title back. Most of the girls are in year 11 and had lost at the previous championship in 2022 which also helped to motivate the team coming from a hard loss. With this determination the girls were ready to win the champions of champions championship at Holy Cross. Even though we only had 9 players on the day, we were ready to give our best.

During the first game, the girls played against De La Salle Catholic College Cronulla and fought hard to win the game with another high score. This only made the girls more committed to bringing the trophy home, and during the grand final this was shown with a strong performance and a dominant 12-3 victory. The win over Our Lady of the Sacred Heart College, Kensington kept our undefeated record intact. We were all super proud of the performance and the style of touch that we played.

Thank you to our coach Miss Spurr.

Throughout the whole season the girls showed great resilience, teamwork and skills which all paved the way to our titles!
