U SPORTS MONSOON WANTOKS
Wantoks is the most established women’s Touch team on the island with a steadfast history that dates all the
way back to 1996. The team started initially as part of the men’s rugby section in Wanderers Rugby Football Club
with a healthy mixture of expatriate and local players, both young and experienced. Under Maureen
Thomson’s coaching for 3 solid years, the team won every Touch competition there was and has since grown in
size and improved in playing standards. The team was later helmed by Anne Goh for the next 9 years and
coached by various coaches from Australia and New Zealand.
In 2008, the Wantoks, together with their male Touch team mates, broke away from the Wanderers RFC and
formed what is known today as Monsoon Touch Football Club. The women’s team, U-Sport Monsoon Wantoks,
till today still houses the feistiest, strongest female players on the field. With Haseena Allapitchay as
main coordinator and Chris Wall (New Zealand Touch rep & World Cup MVP) coaching the team,
U-sport Monsoon Wantoks is set to reach the pinnacle of elite again at the Asian Club Championships 2010.
