23/03/10 - World All Schools Champions to take on European Women

Cavendish Road State High school on Brisbane’s southside conducts the only Touch Football Excellence program that is endorsed and accredited by the National Sporting Organization, Touch Football Australia.

Students at the school study touch football as a subject and the results are outstanding. The girls are especially successful and they are the current World All Schools Champions having first won the title in Singapore in 2006 and then successfully defending their title again in 2008. Last year the under 15 girls won the prestigious Qld All Schools title from almost three hundred competing schools.

The school contributed no less than three girls to the successful Australian under18 team, which won the Trans Tasman series in Auckland last year.

In July of this year the under 15 girls team will travel to Bristol, UK to compete in the European Championships where they will play in the Open Women’s division against teams including England, Scotland, Wales and France. This in itself will provide a very real test for the young Cavendish Road students.

The school team has a number of talented indigenous students including Qld representative and team captain Tracy Hill, who it is hoped, will one day emulate Bo Dela Cruz the Australian Women’s indigenous superstar.

The girls are coached by former Australian Women’s team, triple World Cup winning coach, Peter Bell. Mr Bell, a PE teacher at the school and coordinator of the touch excellence program says, “The girls have been training and fundraising for some time. They are really focussed and looking forward to the experience. While we are reasonably confident of doing well, this is more about contributing to the development of the sport of touch in Europe and importantly in schools in the UK.”

The team will tour around Britain and France in a lead up to the Euros and will conduct clinics as well as play games in British schools.

Captain - Tracy Hill
