Locals Attend Queensland Touch Football Awards Night

Two local Whitsunday Touch representatives attended the Queensland Touch Football (QTF) Awards Night last weekend. This gala event was part of QTF’s Festival of Touch, a week of activities held on the Gold Coast.  

Whitsunday Touch had been nominated for a QTF Award in the Small/Medium Affiliate of the Year category. Other nominees in that category were Gordonvale Touch, Callide Valley Touch and Bundaberg Touch. Bundaberg got to take home the award.

“Among the many awards presented on the night a common theme of the various acceptance speeches was praise for the roles of volunteers in clubs small and large,” said Whitsunday Touch representative, John.

“The awards ceremony was extremely well organised and we came away inspired by the stellar achievements of so many Queensland Touch participants.

“Queensland Touch has a wealth of talent in players, referees, coaches and administrators (and volunteers).  

“We were both proud to represent Whitsunday Touch.”

“We didn’t win but we are definitely on a positive pathway.”
