Hornets last participated in the NYC in 2011, when our boys side finished 16th/18, and the girls finished 8th/18.

After several years away from the top game, we once again returned to show teams across the country, just what amazing quality of touch players we have to offer. 

It’s also important to note that players from across our region were also selected to represent school systems and the NSW development sides, respectively.

The Board and Management Committee of Hornets Touch wish to congratulate all of our young athlete on their achievements at NYC. In addition, we’d like to extend a massive thanks to the volunteers who helped get these sides together, from our committee, to coaching staff, medical crew and most importantly – the parents/guardians of each of our amazing players. Without your dedication, we would not have been able to achieve such a high result in our first year back, so thank you all.
