A touch of success at Murray
Barracks
The 15th National Touch Championships
held recently in Port Moresby have been hailed a success.
The PNG Touch Federation-sanctioned event attracted 11
associations registered with PNGTF across the country and hosted
by SP Port Moresby Corporate Touch at Murray Barracks sports
grounds in Port Moresby.
The championships were contested in eight divisions - Open Men,
Open Women, Open Mix, Senior Men, Senior Women, Masters Men,
Junior U19 Men and U19 Women.
CTPM senior vice-president John Melvin, on behalf of his
executive and management, thanked all officials, stakeholders’
supporters and sponsors for a successful and incident-free
tournament.
Melvin thanked Murray Barracks community and everyone involved
in the game, especially players who displayed four days of touch
footy excitement.
“To see and witness people of all ages, both young and old from
both sexes, alongside or against each other in great contest and
then get together after each match to congratulate one another
was special,” said Melvin.
The tournament was held under the theme “HIV/AIDS and Stop
Violence Against Women and Children” with sponsorships from
Telikom PNG, SP Brewery, Prospect Security, Leahy’s Water
Deliveries, CE Hardware, PNG Water Board, Boroko Motors, Inter
Oil, and Steel Industries.
