Our Proudest moment - The Chairman

Touchers take their third premiership in a row 2012 premiers Against all odds the OverTouchers continued their domination of the "Over 35's" competition after the toughest night in club history. Coming into Finals night in 4th place, the players knew that if a three peat was to be achieved then they had to be at their best over the next 60 minutes and win 3 games in a row. Starting the night with 13 players it was all hands on deck. Knowing that Faz and Kiwi were still carrying injuries, Harro came out of an enforced retirement to be on deck, if his services were required. The semi final was played against last weeks opposition, Sodens Warriors. The Touchers started impressively despite the opposition fielding as many under 35s as over 35s. But this time the defending premiers would not be denied. A flying Supercoach Bill scored down the far right side and that one try was enough to take the Touchers through to the Final. Faz ruled himself...

Reflection through the haze of smoke

This author has embellished, laid the blame, stuck the knife in, run the gauntlet and sometimes written about the game in the evenings past. This week shall be like no other. The Touchers, after strong off season player buys, have started the season 4-0. They sit atop the table in wins and the 'for and against' tally. In the early rounds of the season I have made the conscious decision to observe rather than contribute. Taking this back seat on Thursdays I have been able to reflect on 7 years of Touching. Including that last season which shall not be mentioned were Touching was not enough, you had to grab at sweat laden cloth tags off the hips of young chiselled opponents. Well I think I did it once across the 10 games. In these reflective moments I have seen the will to win, the wanting to prove a point, the sheer determination to run from dummy half without passing despite for the last 7 years being reminded that its a low percentage play. With the playing roster fu...

A Perfect Storm takes down the Touchers

Touchers lose 5-2 in dour affair With another player falling to the growing injury list the Touchers were no match for the undefeated opposition last Thursday night. With Bob The Builder, The Locksmith and FMJ all suffering from PMTBRF [Post Mountain Bike Race Fatigue] and Jonty falling to the 2012 team curse, a soft tissue leg injury before half time, the Overtouchers title defence looks in tatters. Along with injury and fatigue, The Chairman had to be taken off the drip at Mona Vale Hospital just to take part in the clash. Adding to the perfect storm the VC was summonsed to Canberra to explain why he should be allowed to stay in the country after his recent misdemeanors on and off the field. Bulldog went out in protest and was also not available to play. Lots of excuses...I agree. But the other team were better and 'younger' on the day and the Touchers were in no mood for serious touching. More reasons could be given for such a lacklustre performance. Th...
