🏆 2026 WA State Champs 🏆
What a weekend for our club.
A wrap up will never truly capture what happened for us as a whole, but it absolutely deserves to be recognised and banked as another milestone in our journey.
Our Men’s 40s brought it home - State Champions once again 🥇
To reclaim that title speaks volumes about this group. Composed and connected all tournament. When the pressure moments came, you trusted each other and delivered.
The experience, pride and standards you play with set the benchmark for our entire club.
Our Open Mens made history - our first ever Grand Final appearance!
The goal was to win a final and build culture and they did that and more.
The grit in defence, the second and third efforts, the belief in each other and this team proved they belong at that level.
It was a Grand Final game that the WA Touch community has been waiting to see for a long time and both teams delivered. We haven’t won it yet… but we’re coming!
Massive congratulations as well to our Open Mixed, who continue to grow in competitiveness and connection every year, and to our inaugural Men’s 30s who laid a strong foundation in their first State Champs campaign. The future in that group is exciting.
State Champs also marked the unveiling of our new playing kits, another step forward as we continue to strengthen our identity and standards both on and off the field. We’re proud of who we are becoming.
Across all four teams, what stood out most was heart, accountability and playing for the person beside you.
To our families, supporters and everyone behind the scenes a BIG thank you. None of this happens without you.
We’re building something special at ARKS.
Proud of every single one of you.
2027… we go again. ❤️🩶
