Part 3 with Mark Boland 🎥

For Mark, there’s a lot to be thankful for when it comes to Touch Football.

He reflects on how grateful he is that Touch Football came into his life, the friendships and memories it created, and shares what he considers one of his biggest disappointments from his Vawdon Cup years.

Who would have guessed his original playing number was No3...

🎥 Watch the last piece of Mark’s story.

Part 2 takes us back in time with NSW Touch Football Life Member and Hall of Famer Mark Boland, who represented Parramatta Touch Football Association in Men’s Open at Vawdon Cup.

And the game looked a little different back then…

👉 A marker
👉 11 players in a team
👉 And Vawdon Cup played midweek, home and away!

Mark shares some of his memories from those early years and just how much the game and Vawdon Cup has changed over the decades.

Who remembers playing Vawdon Cup when it was home and away?

What club did you play for, and where was your favourite (or least favourite 😜) away trip?

Drop your memories in the comments. We’d love to hear them as we celebrate 50 years of Vawdon Cup.

One of the best parts of celebrating 50 years of the Vawdon Cup has been hearing the stories and sharing the memories from the people who have helped make this competition what it is today.

And we have plenty to share with you!

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing a few of those stories as we hear from Mark Boland, Karen Smith, Bella Slattery, Nick Good, Dom Squadrito and Andy Yiangou each sharing their own memories, experiences and what the Vawdon Cup has meant to them over the years.

But 50 years of Vawdon Cup means there are a lot more stories out there and we want to hear yours too!

Do you have a favourite Vawdon Cup memory? A game you’ll never forget, a great rivalry, lifelong friendships, a funny moment, or a story that still gets told years later?
