With such fantastic results, Mudgee Touch was awarded Club Champions of the event. Club President Erin Perini said she was delighted.
"The event was a huge success, we had over 50 teams attend and participate and our Mudgee Representative teams proved they were a force to be reckoned with," Club President, Erin Perini said.
"We had so many visiting teams commenting about the immaculate fields and in complete awe that the grass on field two was real.
"Next we have senior state cup in December, thr Peter Wilson Junior Tournament in February and the Junior State Cup in February. Followed by some of our senior players participating in nationals at Coffs Harbour in March then our grand finals concluding our local competition at the end of March.
