President Nicole Raine expressed her gratitude towards the volunteers and participants who made this season memorable. “The Touch Football 24-25 season saw six divisions of play, including the introduction of the Masters competition dedicated to players aged 35+ which was a great success,” she remarked. President Raine also highlighted the success of the kids clinic for 6 to 10 year olds, which attracted over 30 enthusiastic participants.
“This great initiative is sponsored by local businesses, RipCurl Jindabyne, First Tracks Boardstore, Hextra, Sticky Fingerz, Mountain Munchies and Jindabyne Bowling & Sports Club,” she said.
“We now shift our focus to the upcoming rugby union season with the Bushpigs set to play their first trial match this weekend. Junior registrations are now open too.”
