The third annual Healthy Active Young (HAY) touch footy carnival was held at Murgon High School on Monday.

More than 60 players took part in the event which pitted Murgon High against St Mary’s Catholic College, police, teachers and community service workers.

To be eligible to take part, students had to have all their school assessments completed and undergo a health check before the day’s play began – but after that, the competition was on for young and old!

In the end, Atto’s AllStars came out on top in a 6-5 thriller final against the CTC team.

Organiser, Cherbourg Community Health worker Joanne Simpson said the games fostered positive relationships and promoted a healthy lifestyle.

“It was a great day and everybody had a lot of fun,” she said.
