Aspire Defence Tidworth Summer Touch League
Season 2008-2009


Aspire DefenceThe Aspire Defence sponsored Tidworth Summer Touch League (TSTL) was played over 3 weeks on 8th, 15th and 22nd July 09. The event sponsors kindly provided a cup and medals for the two finalists as well as ensuring that the grounds were marked out to allow play.

Over the 3 weeks a total of 40 ten minute games were played to find two finalists. The team from 1RHA stormed away to reach the final after only two weeks and were joined the men of 2 R WELSH at the end of the third week. A late surge by 6 Bn REME failed to get them to the final but pushed the team of tournament 215 Sigs Sqn for 3rd place. The Signals Sqn made light of the lack of rugby players in their ranks and the fact that they are a minor unit to put in some fantastic displays.

The final was a tight affair but with the Gunners lacking some of their Aussie contingent there was only going to be one winner and the Welsh ran out 3-0 victors!
