Sorry if this is in the wrong section, if it needs to be moved to General sport, feel free to do so, I'm not sure if Touch counts as a Rugby League topic or a general topic.... :peace:
OK now to the business at hand...
If you are free this Saturday or Sunday and live in Sydney, more preferably on the coast, GET down and see this, because it is going to be really cool.
The great Gorden Tallis has gotten together some mates and they are going to be playing a competition of Beach Touch football, at Maroubra Beach both Tomorrow and on Sunday.
The difference between this and any normal game of touch football, is that Gordie's mates aren't just his mates from the Broncos or down at the local pub... they are real sports stars, some of the best in the world.
Imagine seeing the likes of Gasnier, Mason, Slater, Lockyer, Hodges on the field against each other, and you already have a great prospect.
Add to that though the likes of superstar All Blacks Jerry Collins and Ma'a Nonu, Superstar AFL player Nick Riewoldt, the superstar of rugby league Andrew Johns, the champion winning Aussie Women's touch team and some of the biggest league up and comers in the game including Josh Morris and John Sutton... and now you are salivating.
Top it off with celebrities including golfer Peter Lonard, model and TV celebrity Jake Wall, Boxer Anthony Mundine, Wiggle Anthony Field and Big Gordie himself and you have a must see event. Then to add the cherry to the cake, Bill Harrigan is referee and the Hooters girls are providing additional entertainment with a beach modelling parade... :D :D
Yes so if you are down in the area of Maroubra tomorrow or Sunday, get down and watch this... I will be if I can find some time around the hectic Christmas schedule because I just reckon it will be awesome to see the likes of Mark Gasnier up against Ma'a Nonu or Andrew Johns taking on Jerry Collins.
Just to make the game extra interesting as well, you are also able to kick the ball in the game.
I wonder who will be the champion of the beach, and just who will be able to do the job in what is sure to be some great games of touch footy.
Ok so for everyone now who is interested, here are the teams.... :)
