It was a sunny day for the finals of the Australian Defence Force Touch Association (ADFTA) Nationals held in Newcastle.

The last time a high profile Touch Football match was showcased in front of a capacity Rugby League finals match, it was in fact the curtain raiser entertainment for one of the most dramatic Grand Final series in Rugby League...

It was an exciting four days of Touch Football with Australia’s best young talent on display at the 2013 X-Blades National Youth Championships.

It is with deep sadness that Touch Football Australia advises the passing of Dennis Coffey, peacefully in his sleep.
