Yass Touch Knockout looming fast

Held over the the Australia Day weekend, the Walker Park knockout is considered to be the biggest social knockout competition in NSW with more than 100 teams competing every year.

The 2015 edition will feature a number of representative sides including the Australian women's 30s, and competition is expected to be fierce.

Already 31 teams have nominated and president of the Yass Touch Association, Greg Smith, expects that to grow significantly.

"Yeah that is pretty normal, we get about 60 per cent of the nominations in the last week," he said.

"We've had over 100 teams the last four years so we expect those numbers again."

The Wednesday night competition is in its final two weeks of the year, with Greg Smith and Bob Monkley set to re-grade a number of teams after Christmas.

'Jinxed' has been the story of the year thus far. After moving from the women's competition to the men's C/D-Grade for the 2014/15 season, the all-conquering female side has gone through the year undefeated (apart from a forfeit). The side has been unbeatable in previous years against the other women's sides and now it seems they are just as invincible against the men.

Greg Smith said he was going to move the women up to B-grade in the new year.

"They're not up to the men's A-grade yet but they'll definitely be competitive in the B-grade. They're being challenged so they're really enjoying themselves.

Masters Apprentices and Inappropriate Touching are again the two stand-outs in the men's A-grade.
