In the Men’s Division 1, the Inferno Magpies Black managed a 5-4 against Honkers, and in Women's Division 1, it was the Titans who were victorious, with a 5-3 result against Honkers.

TAS
While there’s no state league in Tassie, community comps in Burnie, Devonport, Southern Touch and Launceston have been going strong; and the state has two Opens teams training for the 2021 National Touch League, which is a first for a few years.

VIC
While community competitions are finally back in Victoria, the VT League was unable to go ahead this year. Though this last weekend saw the Youth In Touch Super Series play out after a five-week competition. Twenty-two junior teams from across Melbourne and nearby regional towns participated in Under 12, Under 14 and Under 18 divisions in a great show of resilience following Melbourne’s incredibly long lockdown. The Youth In Touch program is about more than Touch Football – it’s about engaging youth in physical activity to have fun and learn new skills.
