Full Primary Touch Tournament

On Thursday the 10th of April the top touch players of Outram(Blues/Whites) went in to Mosgiel to play in the Full Primary Schools Touch Tournament. Each team had 3 round robin games, with the winner of each pool qualifying for the semi finals. The first game the Blues played was against St Mary's 2, the score was 6-4 to us. Because of the draw we had to play our second game against Fairfield straight after our first game. We ended up drawing with Fairfield 2 all. This meant we has to beat Green Island by more than 2 points to qualify for the semis. Mr Martin gave us a good talking to and we beat Green Island 23-1. We drew Brighton in the semis. We played well and beat them 6-0. The final was against St Mary's 1, who we had beaten previously in the Taieri Module finals a month earlier. It was a very close game we were leading 3-2 at halftime. St Mary's scored twice just before fulltime to beat us 4-3. The team was very gutted as it was our first loss ever as a team. We are proud of our achievements and now are hungry to win the trophy back next year!!!!
