​Unfortunately Becroft Park has flooded from all the rain this morning, so the fields are closed and there is NO Touch tonight.
Please continue to follow the draw as is. If we get a chance, we will try catch up this round depending on date/field availability.

Junior Touch for Tuesday 20th November has been cancelled due to the changeable weather.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

EXTENDED GRADING
Due to the cancelled round two weeks ago, we have decided to push out the competition round start date, and squeeze in a third Grading round this Tuesday. This is so we have a better feel for which grades teams belong in.

Click here for this week's draw

Note1: some Mixed teams have moved between the two grading draws. Please check both Mixed Grading draws carefully.
Note2: Touchstones Jets (young boys team) have moved from Mens into Mixed. We feel they will be better suited to a lower Mixed grade than playing top level Mens Touch.

Please note game times are now 40minutes - 6:00pm, 6:40pm, 7:20pm.

Adjusted Dates:
Grading Round begins: Tue 23rd October 2018
Competition Round begins: Tue 20th November 2018
Last Games before Xmas: Tue 18th December 2018
Restart: Tue 8th January 2019
Final Round Games: Tue 5th February 2019
Semi Finals: Tue 12th February 2019
Finals: Tue 19th February 2019

UNIFORMS
As of this Tue 13th November, teams must all be wearing identical tops (numbered), and the same coloured shorts (i.e. all navy, all black, all royal blue etc).
We want a neat/tidy standard at our Module please.

PLAYER REGISTRATIONS
If Team Managers haven't registered their players yet, please do so this week.
Team Cards will be issued from Tuesday 20th November. If players aren't registered, then they will not appear on the Team Card, and therefore will not have that game counted towards eligibility for Finals.
