Sea Eagles vs Roosters Touch Exhibition Game 14.09.13
Tonight was a fantastic occasion for Touch Football, with the Manly Sea Eagles Women’s Opens taking on the Eastern Suburbs Roosters in an exhibition game at the NRL's historic double header at Allianz Stadium. The first of the fixtures was the NRL Elimination Final between the Sharks and Cowboys. After that match the Women’s touch teams played a 26 minute exhibition game with both sets of players displaying their skills to the large crowd. The game was played in excellent spirits with both sets of players thoroughly enjoying the experience. For the record the game ended in a 3-3 draw and many thanks to NSWTA and Daniel Rushworth for providing the Sea Eagles with this excellent opportunity. After the match the second NRL Final got underway with the Roosters playing the Sea Eagles.
