In early July, Tully Touch 16 Girls’ team, placed fifth out of 18 teams at the Queensland Touch Football Junior State Cup (JSC) in Rockhampton.

Tully was one try away from the semifinals and proved highly competitive against the top four teams.

These local Tully girls and their teammates from Innisfail and Thuringowa were impressed with their top-quality play at the State-wide event.

At JSC, Tully’s Freya McManus, Hayley Johnston, Brooke Johnston and Ellie Jenkins finished second in the Under 16 Girls Relay, with McManus named MVP and Stella Berge, the Players’ Player.

A huge thank you to the team coach and manager (also daughter/mother) duo Maddie and Maria Crema.

The coaching and support provided to the girls was excellent and greatly appreciated by everybody involved.

A special mention to the Tully Touch community for their words of encouragement from home.
