For ladies looking to learn our sport or even need a refresher our award winning women’s program, to strengthen women in touch (SWITCH) is an amazing option. Please keep Thursday evenings in October free (6:30 start), sign up (if you have not signed up to previous modules) and most importantly spread the word.

Wednesdays on the run home

Thursday Social Competition

Winter 2026 is reaching the business end. This Wednesday is week of 17 of 18. Here are some points for the run home:

All teams play

The most important point, for those teams who are new, is that if your team misses finals, your season is not over. All teams play in week 17 and week 18, whether they are playing finals or not (those missing finals are playing friendlies), as per the player members faq we fixture and expect all teams to play as participation and socialising are far more important than the result.

Draws

The draw for week 17 – mixed semi finals and friendlies (for everyone else) is here:

Uniforms

Please make sure your team is in uniform, we will be making sure referees are enforcing the penalty provisions for teams not in uniform in finals (as they should have been since week 3).

Team Lists

If you are team captain of a team playing finals please review your team list. It can found like this. Only those on the team list, who’ve played 4 games, and are a member of Princes Park Touch Association can play finals matches (exemption may be granted on request).

I suspect many teams have players who have not yet done their membership onboarding, those who have not should start here:

I strongly advise you to get everyone to do it as they will be removed from the field until they have. If someone believes they have completed but are not appearing on the team list feel free to get them to reach out to me directly.

Get along to the pub

A reminder to socialise after the match, either bring some refreshments to drink in the park, or grab a voucher , they are available win or lose, and get along to our Winter sponsor the Wild Geese Hotel

End of season breakup/presentation night

Please schedule a team dinner now for our final week (week 18 – Wednesday the 02nd of September). Attendance is expected for all mixed teams playing in grand finals and highly encouraged for everyone else. All teams will be playing that week, and we shall likely arrange an extra field to avoid the late slot. Presentations and will kick-off at the end of the night.

So lock in dinner at the Wild Geese that night, it is always a great night.

See you all on the field
