Get ready to dust off those boots and start stretching! Helensburgh Touch Football, the No.1 summer sport in the area, will kick off its two summer competitions in early October.

Helensburgh Touch Football has been operating in the Burgh for over 50 years, and has been supported by a group of dedicated volunteers since the comp kicked off in the early 1970s. The goal of the competition has always been to provide a social Touch Football experience, with all the benefits returned to the players.

The Wednesday evening Men’s Competition will begin on October 8. The Monday evening Mixed competition starts on October 13. Teams will consist of nine players, playing on large-sized fields with women permitted to kick a drop goal.

The competition concludes on Grand Final day, on the last Saturday in February 2026. On this exciting day, all six divisions will compete in thrilling Grand Final matches. A result is guaranteed, as the drop-off rule will come into effect in the event of a draw.

The day doesn’t end there. Following the Grand Finals, we will hold several unique novelty game events, featuring various skill challenges that are sure to provide plenty of laughs.

If you are new to the area or looking to keep fit, Helensburgh Touch welcomes you. We are seeking new players, especially women for the Monday evening mixed comp. Any inquiries, call or text Andy, 0411 352 830.
