Northland's fast-footed high school touch players took to ASB Stadium on Wednesday and Thursday for the Northland Secondary School Sports Association turbo touch competition.

Over the two days, schools from across the region fought it out for boys, girls and mixed division touch supremacy. Northern Advocate photographer John Stone captured Wednesday's action.
