In October 2013 a rejuvenated Touch Kaikohe committee organised and ran Northland's premier touch competition, which catered to nine open mixed and six social mixed teams and junior teams, as well as a Kaikohe module. Both competitions combined attracted over 500 players to Kaikohe every Thursday for the 10-week season.
