For the third year running, the Chinchilla Touch Fast Fours Tournament was held with great success. Delivered in conjunction with a Junior Development Clinic involving Pain Away Australian Emus Coaches and Players, the event continues to experience strong growth amongst the local regional community.
The Junior Development Clinic ran Friday afternoon, with Australian Emu representatives Phil Gyemore (Men's Open Coach), Katie Geiger, Jayden Benbow, Trevor Moran, Dave Zanette, Troy Morgan and Brendan Taylor helping run drills and games. There were smiles and laughs all round, as the Emus squad helped train the next generation of Touch Football players. Chinchillas' very own Kate Ellem, who was recently selected in the U/18 Emus Women's squad, also attended the event.
On Saturday, the Fast Fours tournament was held. 33 teams were split across 4 pools for 8 rounds of Touch Footy action. In the end it came down to 2 Grand Finals, with TMBC emerging victorious over the Dolphins in the Division 1 final, while Touch of Brilliance beat the Quacks in the Division 2 final.
Plans for next year's edition are already underway, with the event set to occur on the 8th and 9th of September 2023.
