AUSTRALIAN CHAMPIONSHIPS 2019 FINAL UPDATE - 30TH SEPTEMBER WELCOME Welcome to the 2019 Touch Rugby League Australian Championships. Congratulations on your selection and representation at this year's event. You are a critical aspect of the growth and expansion our sport is experiencing and this success is on show with 71 teams representing the regions in which our sport is played across Australia. The Australian Championships is the pinnacle of our sport and this has never been more evident than with 234 games to be played over three days of competition, this long weekend. We are humbled by the support for our game and what it means to thousands of players across Australia! I hope the Championships weekend is memorable both on and off the field for all players and spectators. Wear your jerseys with pride and relish what will be an event to remember! This Final Update provides all the crucial information you and your fellow team mates need, before taking the field on Friday night. Thank you again for your continuous support of TRL and all the very best in competition. Sincerely, Edward Wilson General Manager Touch Rugby League Australia CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT No matter what region TRL is played, we acknowledge that it’s what happens both on and off the field that makes our sport what it is today. For the first time in a TRL representative event, a Club Champion will be awarded to recognise and celebrate the best of TRL, both on and off the field. The Club Championship will be awarded to the region with the highest number of points, at the Closing Ceremony on Day 3 of the Championships. Points can be accrued through multiple game and non-game related manners - as outlined on the next two pages of this publication. LIVE Club Championship Standings will be available throughout the Championships.
