Fairholme girls played ‘hard and fair’ to become Grand Final winners at the biggest schools Touch Football event in the world, with over 3000 players competing. After a hard-fought battle against Carmel College, the 2011 Fairholme College Junior Touch Team emerged as winners of the 2011 Queensland All School Touch Champions (final score of 5 – 4), held in late 2011 at the Whites Hill Complex in Brisbane. What an outstanding achievement for Fairholme girls – the glory being even greater as this is the first time in the 23 years of the Queensland All Schools Touch tournament that a girls’ school from the Darling Downs region has taken out this prestigious title.

Along with Fairholme students Alice Mason and Alice Rathie, the girls were members of the U15 Darling Downs Team who contested a tough pool consisting of Met West, Peninsula, Sunshine Coast, Capricornia and North West. Darling Downs managed to win all of their round games and defeated South Coast in the semi-final, winning 2-0 and setting up a final against the strong Metropolitan East region. Although leading at half time, the Darling Downs girls were narrowly defeated in the final minutes of the match, losing 4-3 and finishing runners-up for 2012.
