Touch Ups celebrate first win of season

Henry Butler in action for Just Us.

Round 7 of the Broome touch football competition marked the midway point of the campaign, with attendance numbers as high as ever.

In A-division, Touch Ups got their first win of the season, beating Phoenix Flyers 8-5 in a gutsy and well-celebrated showing.

Sharks and Outta Touch played out a feisty and competitive fixture, with the spoils eventually shared 4-4.

Blackoutz continued division dominance with an 11-5 victory over Wannabees after a 5-3 score at half-time.

Bullets and an under-manned Rubber Ducks could not be separated in a 6-6 draw full of exciting attacking play.

In B-division, Exploders bolstered player numbers and recorded another victory, beating Touchables 7-5.

Scoregasms edged a 13-try thriller, beating an unlucky Shinju Stingers side 7-6, while Runaways are looking like the team to beat at this level.

They beat a mobile Hash House Harriers side 9-3. A grudge match in C-division between Saints and Just Us ended up in the former's favour, 9-4, despite the victors being reduced to five players.

Kiss My Pass and Chalkies are two of the most able sides in the third tier, with the former winning 5-3 in a close encounter.

Try Hards, donning new kits, meant business against Towns FC and prevailed 9-5 to keep pressure on the teams at the top.

In the social division, Tagnam Style played some free-flowing football in racking up 12 tries against Untouchables, who managed to get over the whitewash five times in defeat.

Finally, Stingrays got the only try of an end-to-end fix- ture in a 1-0 win over Kant Touch This.
