2024 Gold Coast Titans All Schools Touch Football Tournament | Event Wrap
Last Wednesday 2 October to Sunday 6 October, our Senior School Touch Football Girls Teams proudly competed in the Gold Coast Titans All Schools Touch Football Competition held at the Gold Coast Performance Centre in Runaway Bay.
This five-day event featured over 580 school teams from around the globe, making it the largest touch football tournament in the world.
Both the Canterbury 15 Years and 18 Years Girls Teams showcased their talents, teamwork, fitness and determination, representing the College with pride throughout the competition.
15 Years Girls Team
Under the guidance of Coach Miss Georgia Grimsey, our 15 Years Girls put on an impressive display, finishing third in their pool group.
This achievement is even more remarkable given that it was their first time playing together, having only managed a few team training sessions before the tournament.
Despite this, their sheer grit and team growth in every match was undeniable.
Our players also demonstrated their strong individual skills while working cohesively as a team, laying a strong foundation for future success.
18 Years Girls Team
Led by Coach Mr Karl Skinner, our 18 Years Girls performed at an exceptional level, securing second place in their pool group.
Unfortunately, they narrowly missed out on advancing to the final 16 due to their lower points differential only, which highlights just how tightly contested the competition was.
Despite the near miss, their passion and commitment shone through, with every game highlighting their resilience, skills and teamwork.
Both teams represented Canterbury College with immense pride and dedication, leaving their mark amongst 580 fellow teams.
The leadership and support provided by our coaching staff played a pivotal role in the teams’ success.
We are excited about the future of Canterbury’s Touch Football Program, and anticipate the continued growth and achievements of our young athletes in the years to come.
