Overtouchers Corporation

Chairman: "Backs to the wall from those left standing" The Chairman was choking back tears as he spoke those words right after the final siren and seeing his core unit overcome a test of courage. In the cooling evening of a long hot spring day in Sydney, the crowd was tense and concerned. They were not sure if the people's team could come back after the loss inflicted on them last week by the teenagers and the administrators of the game. History has shown that the Overtouchers lift when there is a fight. They are known to scream the words 'Challenge Accepted' when life throws up its bad times. Last night was a night like that and once again the mountain men from Terrey Hills sort glory and were rewarded with 9-3 victory. VC goes missing in time of need With only 8 players on the playing roster for last nights game, a message was received on my phone at 7.32pm from the VC stating " I'm out ! The wife not home yet ! Good luck !" Firstly h...

New boys shine in hard fought encounter After hearing of the 16-0 demolition in week one, last nights opponents of the Overtouchers failed to show up for their turn. So the Touch Football Commission [TFC] chose to entertain the crowds with an exhibition game which saw the Touchers take on Teenagers. The premiers went down 6 to 4 but they were not disgraced.  On the rock hard ground the two time premiership defending unit had two players see their first outing for 2012. Big Man Milton brought along Teenage sensation Justin Bieber. Bieber came off a season ending knee injury to provide the Touchers with a lower median age classification. Their effect was immediate as they tore the youngsters left hand edge apart. With smooth precision Bieber inserted Milton into the gap. However, as the Big Man took off for the line he was shot by a sniper in the crowd and he came crashing to the ground like a wilderbeast in the High Veldt of Africa. Or so it seemed..... However, momen...

Touchers show their class After walking from the field after Grand Final glory in 2011. Chairman Ballo knew the task of keeping the core of his team together would be the battle of his life. Challenge accepted !!!! For the crowd to turn up to the 2012 season opener and see the likes of the VC, Big Bad Brett, Jonty, Faz, Bill, Bob The Builder, the Chairman himself and yours truly re-take the field was a dream come true and they were rewarded with their loyalty. While the team took the paddock without Milton, The Locksmith and the Phantom all on overseas commissions, the early entry for 'Buy of the Year' delivered a double try effort on debut. During the off-season the Vice Captain recruited a kiwi international, who for the last time will be called Bernie. Forthwith he shall be called KIWI. His constant driving through the middle of the paddock brought joy to the group and a constant headache to the opposition. When offered nicknames of Richie McCaw and Buck Shelfor...

IF ITS WORTH DOING ONCE, ITS WORTH DOING 3 TIMES As the snowflake melts to join a trickle and joins a stream to form a creek; these creeks are forming to create a mighty river that is the ' Over - Touchers ' 2012 Touch Footy Campaign. As the world nervously await the selections of the core unit of the 2012 Touchers , The Chairman and his task force 'Get the Best'; have taken reports of the 2011 team and what each member has been doing in the off season to ensure they are ready to shoot out of the blocks come game one. These forming creeks are each players off-season contribution to the mighty river of the 2012 campaign. The Chairman is going over his list and he is checking it twice....he is trying to find out who is....well I think you get the rest. The VC has reported in, and informed this shrinking violet of a sports commentator, that he and the Locksmith have been playing together nicely. They have found solace in the knowledge that glory is n...

 Date 18th April 2012 As Phil Collins sang in the 23rd December 1989 release of his hit song 'Another Day in Paradise' from the award winning Faces album "...its another day for you and me in Paradise." With the rain bucketing down over the Cumberland Plains we look behind and beyond at the amazing adventures of the Overtouchers and their journey to 6 consecutive premierships. Yes that's right, six. That is the target number that the Vice Captain has demanded the team set its sights on. So that the outfit can be seen on parallel with the QLD State of Origin team. Only history can judge the greatness of these teams but for now we can only look to the honor board and see 2010 & 2011premiers ' Overtouchers ' in fine gold italic print. I am tasked in accordance with the by-laws of the ' Overtouchers ' to provide an update on the off-season and adventures of each of the team. Please note that this following information has been collated...

Congratulations to all winners Date 16th December 2011 Falcon award This goes to new boy Jonty. As that ball flew into his head I couldsee the split second as Jonty gasped..."oh no not again". His prize is a years supply of panadol. Well done on a great season Jonty. Blow up award Well there were a few contenders for this one. If Milton and Biggsy had attended more games they would have easily taken out this prize. For a while there Bill was going to go back to back on this award after his clear win in 2010. But the winner for 2011 was Full Metal. His prize is a 2 week camp at Sprinkling Farms, Sydneys leading stress relief facility. Frank Sinatra award 'You will do it MYYYYYY WAAAYYYY' There was only one player who collected points on this award The Chairman. Only through his caring words on the paddock did we know what he wanted done and how. Buys of the year Well so many contenders in this one. The Rookie brought out of a 20 year retirement to put ...

  Date 16th December 2011 As the thousands left the ground last night after seeing the Overtouchers retain the Touch Footy premiership you could sense their feelings of adulation and pride in this mighty team.  By off loading deadwood in the off season and achieving some key player signings, the Chairman had corralled a team from the pastures of Terrey Hills that were faster stronger and fitter than the 2010 model. More improvement than what was seen from the 1974 Leyland P76 to the 1975 model, oh yes a whole lot more. At the Belrose battle fields the Touchers went into the Grand Final play off feeling loose and ready to go. With five reserves the selection committee chose to put the fittest fastest starting 7 off the field, leaving the teams ball players Chairman, Harro and Full Metal on the sidelines. The strategy was clear go hard go fast and don't drop the pill. But alas in the first set of 6, the VC dropped the pill. The VC was tense and on edge last...
