Touch team wins State Cup

The Peninsula Junior Touch 16 Boys team have won the NSW Junior State Cup held on the weekend of February 19 and 20 at Wollongong.

Coach Mr Daniel Nicholls said the team played well and deserved to win.

"The boys were over the moon but I think relieved in a way because most of the team has been playing for four or five years and come so close over the years and never won it.

"So to finally win one was a massive relief," said Mr Nicholls.

To get to this level the Junior Touch 16 Boys team played in the Peninsula Touch Competition before being selected to trial.

The team trained twice a week since the start of November.

"I was proud and happy to be a part of such a great achievement," said Mr Nicholls.
