Attracting international players from as far afield as London, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen, twelve teams competed fiercely in the second year of the Claret Jug, climaxing in a closely contested final between Meerkats and defending champions, Galaxy Scotland.

Despite a convincing effort in the first half, Meerkats finally lost 3-5 to defending champions Galaxy Scotland who were thrilled to retain their title.

Delighted with the turn out, Graeme Buchan, Tournament Director commented,

 “The interest in a tournament this early in the year shows how popular Touch rugby has become, although what was more encouraging to see, was the professionalism and increased skill level displayed by all the teams”

The day was well supported and lunch, which was provided by Richmond Street Deli, courtesy of sponsors PETREX, was enjoyed by all the players and officials.

Registration for the Aberdeen Summer Leagues is well under way and should you require any further information about Touch in Aberdeen please contact Graeme Buchan at info@aberdeentouch.com
