Eight former players to join QLD Cowboys Elite 8 sides for 2017

Queensland Touch Football has announced that eight former Townsville Junior Touch Football players will be joining the Men's and Women's Queensland Cowboys sides for the 2017 Elite 8 series.

Selected amongst a host of touch football stars, a small few stood out above the rest; Townsville's own Mikayla Newman was selected into the QLD Cowboys Women's side, joining Kristian Congoo, Shaun Francis, Michael Law, Lachlan Pierce, Samuel Pierce, Andrew Searle and Jared Townson in the Men's.

All of them are products of our junior touch football programme, having started their touch football careers on the very fields our kids play on every Thursday and Friday night.

The 2017 Elite 8 Series will be played alongside the 2017 National Touch League, beginning in Coffs Harbour on March 9 next year.

Townsville Junior Touch Football would like to congratulate all of our players on their selections, and wish them luck in 2017!
