Pershore Touch was founded by a group of women in 2011, who wanted to play rugby but did not want the full contact of Rugby Union. Since then, our women's squad has twice been Midlands Champions in the Midlands Ladies Touch League (MLTL) and continues to be a very successful team. Last season they were runners up in the MLTL Midlands championship and came third place in the Southwest regional MLTL competition.
The secret to our women's success is that we always have a lot of fun training and playing together and we treasure that more than winning! And we welcome new players of all ages and abilities and have a programme to teach all the skills and strategy they will need to immediately enjoy playing this exciting game.
And the men can play too.
Women and men (age 13+) are welcome to join us for Touch training every Wednesday, normally at Pershore Rugby Club from 7:30PM till 9PM but occassionally at Pershore High School. No experience necessary.
Women-only sessions are held at a series of pop-up locations.
Pershore Touch is affiliated to the England Touch Association; we have ETA trained referees; and play to Federation of International Touch (FIT) rules.
The Midlands Ladies Touch League is the largest all-women league in Europe, with 20 women's teams (including Pershore's) that play every month between March to October.
Fizz Bewley, Chair of Pershore Touch, is the Administrator of the Midlands Ladies Touch League.
