2025 Junior State Cup
Sophia A (Year 6), represented Parramatta Touch Football at the 2025 Junior State Cup in the Under 12 girls. On the Friday, Sophia’s team had 2 wins and 1 draw in very wet and windy conditions. On the Saturday, her team had 1 draw and 1 loss. Unfortunately, the team didn’t make it to the finals on the Sunday. Sophia has now been short listed to trial for Sydney Mets regional team, which is made up from the best performing touch players from the State Cup Tournament in Wagga Wagga and during the course of the season. Sophia, we are so proud of your achievements in Touch Football, well done!
