AUSTRALIA’s finest touch footballers are set to play off for national titles in Coffs Harbour next week.
Touch Football Australia’s ‘The Championships’ will be held over three huge days of representative touch football from Friday, 30 May to Sunday, 1 June, at the C.ex Coffs International Stadium and surrounding fields.
Originally scheduled for early March, The Championships were postponed due to the effects of Cyclone Alfred.
The Championships will involve Coffs Coast players competing in Northern Eagles representative teams.
The Northern Eagles are representative teams which encompass a large part of Northern NSW.
The Northern Eagles teams will be amongst the 23 divisions at The Championships, which this year includes a new All Abilities competition, now consisting of three tiers.
Last year saw a record 165 teams in action from across the country.
It will be the second year in a row Coffs Harbour will host the National Championships.
Coffs Harbour is also hosting the National Youth Championships in October; also for the second straight year.
