In a thrilling last week of summer touch at Lady Bay (West Bridgford), the Bees finally claimed revenge against arch rivals the Mallarkeys, winning both the mixed and men’s open play off finals to claim both the 2010 league titles.

 

The mixed open final went down to the wire, with the Bees winning 3 touchdowns to 2, whilst the men’s was almost as close, with the Bees winning 3-1 after conceding an early score. In the Open Shield events West Bridgford claimed both the mixed and men’s spoils, with wins over The Rats and Pilonidal Sinuses respectively.

 

The newly formed Ladies league was also a close affair with Mallarkeys beating Boots 3-1 in the play off final to claim the league title. Toothill finished a close third with CBG and Mellish bringing up the rear.

 

In the Wednesday night Social leagues, Hamians claimed the men’s title despite finishing second to Melton in the regular league season. A 6-3 win on the night ensured they gained top spot with Melton finishing in a close second. In the mixed social the regular league season format continued to the end, with Fraggle Ruck (Freeth Cartwright Solicitors) narrowly pipping the Misfits (Perfect Motion) to the title.

 

Commenting on this season’s touch, organiser at Perfect Motion, Chris Simon said:

“This season has been our most successful yet. We’ve had 45 teams and over 600 players taking part each week, with new teams from Speedo, BGS, Radcliffe and Melton. The standard has improved once again with most leagues going down to the wire. The open mixed league finished with only one point separating the top five teams!”

 

Summer touch is almost over for another year, but it’s not too late to enter the Social Festival planned for Saturday 21st August. Plans are also taking shape for an autumn league at Lady Bay with further details expected in August. If you want to find out how to get involved please visit www.perfectmotiontouch.com.
