Mixed touch results continue
The 2025 Weipa Touch Association season continues to deliver mixed results for teams after round nine on 26 June.
The OGs touched up Weipa Weapons 18-3 as Cheers for Beers gave Scrambled Legs a 20-9 touch footy lesson.
Top End Taggers topped Cape Candies in a 14-4 result, with Villains (9-2) and Spartans (7-2) recording respective wins against Pisswrecks and Can’t Touch This.
Untouchables proved to be just that as they kept Lacking Stamina scoreless in a 7-nil result.
Foy whacks win
Mick Foy was the winner when 13 players challenged for Wackers dominance in Weipa on 25 June.
Scott Triffitt took runner-up honours, while Randall O’Neill had his short irons on target and claimed the pin prizes on the 15th and 18th holes.
Eddy Tiemens collected the Bradman’s.
Thanks once again to Pom and Kate for cooking up a feast with the burgers once players put away their clubs.

Cape to miss Country Week
After thrilling rugby league fans in Weipa and Cooktown over the past two seasons, Cape York will have to wait its turn to again host the Northern Pride after the Hostplus Cup 2025 Country Week schedule was released last week.
The Pride will meet the Burleigh Bears at Yarrabah on 26 July and Minister for Sport and Racing Tim Mander said the State Government was happy to help take the game to some of the remotest parts of the state each year.
“The economic benefits of Country Week will be substantial, but the greatest benefit for these communities will be seeing firsthand current and future NRL stars and future Maroons,” he said.
