Bernard Woods Selected For NQ Cyclones Touch Football

The National Touch League (NTL) is a major Touch Football Competition held at Coffs Harbour each year. The NTL attracts the best teams from around Australia.

Whitsunday Touch is proud that Bernard Woods was selected for the NQ Cyclones in the Over 55 Division of the NTL.

In Bernard’s Division there were teams from the ACT, Brisbane, Southern Qld, Sydney, Victoria, and the Hunter region.

The NQ Cyclones were undefeated in their Round Games and went into the Grand Final against the Sydney Scorpions who they had defeated 3 to 2 in the rounds.

Unfortunately, the score was reversed in the Grand Final.

Woodsy’s individual performances were impressive. He ended up equal third in tries scored (5) with 7 being the best, and in the Final he was voted Player’s Player by his team.

Hearty congratulations Bernard.
