Before this weekend's NQ Senior Championships, let's take a trip back to 1986!
We've uncovered archived footage from the NQ Senior Championships Men's 40s Final between Cairns Touch - Home of the Pirates and Townsville Touch Football.
It's a fantastic reminder of how far our sport has come while honouring the traditions that remain the same.
Do you recognise anyone in the footage? 👀
