After being cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the fast pace and excitement of the Tag20 Anzac Cup is coming to Goulburn Australia, from 17-18 April.
Tag20 is an innovative sport made for social collaboration, health, wellbeing, fitness, and enjoyable competition. The skills performed in the game of Tag20 are like those from codes including Touch Football, Rugby League and Rugby Union. The major difference is that the tag replaces the impact of a tackle.
The Anzac Cup is inspired by the camaraderie of the Anzac Heroes who fought for our countries – Australia and New Zealand. It is a friendly competitive sport between two spirited nations.
Tag20 Anzac Cup Organiser, Jody Te Ora, is excited for the Anzac Cup to return this year and for it to be held in Goulburn.
‘Last year (2020), this event had to be cancelled only 4 weeks out from commencing. Even this year we have had a few of our competitors from New Zealand forced to withdraw due to travel uncertainty.’
‘However, we are returning this year and spectators can expect to see the high-quality competition of a new and exciting sport. The high skill sets normally seen in high profile rugby codes, the speed and natural abilities of many participants will all be on show.’
The event will attract approximately 450 participants and officials, spread across 28 teams coming from all over Australia including Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Canberra, and Western Australia.
Teams will play in 14 divisions, ranging from Juniors (under 8 years) to Seniors (40+ years) in a best of five test series between Australia and New Zealand.
Goulburn Mulwaree Council is proudly supporting the Tag20 Sports Association of Australia Incorporated in bringing the Anzac Cup to Goulburn.
