Vawdon Cup is a weekly representative competition conducted by NSW Touch Association. With teams representing affiliates such as Penrith, Parramatta, Cronulla, Easts, Wollongong and Central Coast as well as everywhere in between, Vawdon Cup puts you up against some of the best players in the state.
Games are played throughout the Sydney Metropolitan area catering for Open, Senior and Youth divisions. The competition normally has 8-10 rounds and a final series.
Games are played weekly on a Friday night with the occasional Sunday double header.
The competition is however still split into skill-based divisions so even a beginner has a place to get started. Manly Touch has fully accredited coaches in charge of each squad which will help improve your knowledge and skills. Trials and training usually commence in July.
Players must be a minimum of 16 years of age to play in the Opens Divisions and must be between 13 to 17 years of age to play Youth League.
