TWEED River High School’s open girls’ touch team has demolished Sydney’s Picnic Point High to make the final 10 of the New South Wales CHS knockout competition.

Representing the North Coast Zone in the competition, Tweed River dominated play on home soil on Wednesday to come away with a 13-1 win against the Sydney team.

The school is no stranger to success when it comes to touch, with the current open girls’ side winning state championships in Year 7-8 and Year 9-10 competitions.

While the side is currently undefeated, they’ve never won the CHS state title which coach Chris Swaddle hopes will change in 2016.

“We’re quite confident, we have a good touch program at the school and have a lot of girls that play touch out of school,” Swaddle said.

“These girls have come through together after winning those two state titles, so fingers crossed this year will be the year that we’re really pushing to win the CHS competition.”

The side started out in the knockout competition’s North Coast Zone, where they defeated local schools to earn the right to represent the region.

They went on to dispatch Alstonville in Ballina to make the top 10 which gave them a shot at taking on Picnic Point.

Swaddle said the girls had gelled really well around a strong base of players which had “blessed” the school with talent.

“Five girls played in the North Coast representative team that finished second at the state carnival, so we’ve got a really good core of top girls,” he said.

“One player, Tarryn Aiken, plays for the state team so we’ve had a really good base in the side for a few years.

“They’re a really good team and we’ve been very blessed over the last few years with talent.”

The side now moves on to the top 10 and series finals in Bateau Bay in August, with supporters encouraged to get behind the local girls.
