Exeter Touch Rugby, in conjunction with Wessex RFC is thrilled to announce that it will be hosting a Spring Mixed Touch Rugby Tournament on 2 May 2015 at Wessex RFC, Flowerpot Fields, Exeter, a stones throw from the mainline railway station and the historic City Centre.

The Tournament will end with a barbeque and prize giving back at the Exeter Brewery Tap bar, to sample some award winning local ale, a 5 minute walk from the pitch and handy for the railway station!

The aim of the day is to provide for a competitive level of competition for mixed touch rugby teams and to also increase participation in the sport.

Touch Rugby is a fast-moving, minimal contact evasive game played by both men and women. 

The game is simple to learn and lots of fun – with no need to worry about getting hurt, making it suitable for mixed teams.

We will be running 4 competitions on the day, which will be pool events, leading to Cup, Bowl, Shield knock out rounds depending on the number of entrants to each section.

1. Elite Teams – 1st/2nd teams of Touch Clubs/Rugby Clubs/Universities.

2. Social & Corporate Teams – For those who want a social day out and enjoy the sun, beer & banter, without running around like Jo Pavey.

3. Under 18s competition.

We are looking forward to welcoming up to 24 teams, so places are limited. Teams entry will cost £72 for 12 players. That is £6 each for a full day, this will help fund the day and pay for the referees, first aid arrangements etc.

The aim of the day is to provide for a competitive level of competition for mixed touch rugby teams and to also increase participation in the sport.
