New Zealand have proven age is no barrier, taking on the incumbent world champions, Australia, and claiming the Masters Trans Tasman series in Auckland, with scalps in the M30s, W30s and Snr Mxd Divisions.

Australia proved too strong across all divisions in the Super Trans Tasman Youth series, taking the series with clean sweeps in the 18 Girls, 20 Girls, and 20 Boys, and a 2-1 series win in the 18 Boys.

It is with pleasure that the Federation of International Touch (FIT) announces the appointment of Erick Acker (France) as FIT President through until AGM 2015, as well as the appointment of two new FIT Board Directors: Mel Mallam from Switzerland (legal and international sport expertise) and Angela Calder from Australia (sport development and international sport expertise).

The Federation of International Touch (FIT) would like to extend its warmest seasons greetings to all across the globe. May this festive season be all that you deserve - filled with fun, laughter, and precious family memories.

A recent focus for FIT is a greater emphasis on global technical development, and during 2012 the FIT Coaching Commission was established to meet the "coaching" need. Mr Peter McNeven was appointed as Chair of that Commission.
