National Touch League
DAY 3 SUMMARY- SENIOR NTL'S 2004
AUSTRALIAN TOUCH TITLES- DAY 3 SENIOR COMPETITION SUMMARY
Today was the final day of pool matches before the finals begin. Local Northern Eagles sides are doing extremely well in the 40 years, 45 years and 40 years competitions and look in with a chance at up to three titles.

The Sydney Mets also look very consistent in virtually every Mens division and will no doubt feature in tomorrow's finals considerations.

The South Australian Womens 30 years side are still doing well and could be the only non-NSW or Queensland side to grab a title. The ACT Mens 40 years team won last year and also cannot be forgotten as they've improved as the tournaments gone along.

Mens 30 years- Day 3:
The Sydney Mets have been the favourites in the Mens 30 years since day 1 and their form has continued to impress. Finishing undefeated and with a strong 15-5 victory over South Australia, they look like they will be very tough to beat in the finals tomorrow.
