Social Competition
The main attraction of the UNSW Touch Club is its successful Monday Night Social Competition. The competition is run bi-annually in line with the UNSW teaching period(s). The competition first started with a small six team competition, but in recent years has hit capacity at 50 teams playing in five divisions.
The competition is played between the hours of 6.00pm and 9.00pm at David Phillips Memorial Playing Fields, Daceyville (corner of Gwea Ave and Banks Ave).

Famous quotes containing the words social and/or competition:
“There was a time when the average reader read a novel simply for the moral he could get out of it, and however naïve that may have been, it was a good deal less naïve than some of the limited objectives he has now. Today novels are considered to be entirely concerned with the social or economic or psychological forces that they will by necessity exhibit, or with those details of daily life that are for the good novelist only means to some deeper end.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
“Playing games with agreed upon rules helps children learn to live by rules, establish the delicate balance between competition and cooperation, between fair play and justice and exploitation and abuse of these for personal gain. It helps them learn to manage the warmth of winning and the hurt of losing; it helps them to believe that there will be another chance to win the next time.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
