Touch Footy

Touch Footy is one of the sports here on campus. It is played on the width of a football field. The goal is to run the ball across the width, and touch the ball on the ground to score. There are six players on each team on the field at one time. If the opponent touches you, you have to place the ball on the ground, and another player on your team can pick it up. To pass the ball, you have to pass it backwards. If your team is touched six times, the ball then is switched over to the other team. It may sound confusing, but when you watch it, it is pretty easy to understand.

The touch footy finals were Friday night. Uni hall won the semi finals game and advanced to the finals. It was a great game against George Roberts. They were tied 4-4 at the end of full time, and had to go into overtime. Instead of 6v6 on the field, they played 5v5. George Roberts ended up scoring, so Uni hall lost 5-4. But it was still a great game. The different teams get so into it and it gets so intense, so it was really exciting to watch.
