Hope everyone made it safely home. Here are the results from the tournament and the final table. I'll also post these on the Aberdeentouch.com website.
Massive congratulations to the Mixed18s Academy team who won the Solstice Trophy with 4 wins and one draw from 5 games narrowly beating Firebirds on try difference (their draw was against Firebirds). A huge acheivement for a team with 4 players who only started playing this year and who have never played in a tournament before and another 4 who had only played Touch for the first time last year. The future of Scottish Touch seems to be in good hands.
Also congratulations to Ruaridh Gordon who was voted tournament MVP.
A huge thanks to John and Sharkey for reffing multiple games and supporting the less experienced referees and to Sarah for assessing a number of new refs and keeping Pitch 1 scores. Their help is invaluable in these tournaments. Also thanks to the many player and coach referees who took to the field.

Here are the results of the inaugural Aberdeen leg of the Scottish Development Series. Despite the early rain, the weather stayed fair. Having won every game throughout the day, Leopards were pipped at the last going down 3-4 to winners, Stirling Storm Troopers in a drop off in the final. Score of the day went to Ellis Craik, which even had the referees cheering. Thanks to both Superhands and Stirling for travelling north and to Leopards and Guerillas who fielded a number of youngsters. Hope you all enjoyed the day.
That marks the end of the official Touch season in Aberdeen but Social touch is still available to those who are keen (see Aberdeen Touch Rugby facebook page for details). Hope to see you all next year

Last few days to register a team for the Solstice Touch tournament, scheule for games will be drafted at the weekend. All abilities welcome and we have a newly commissioned trophy for the winner!
The Summer league is now over and we have a clear winner, Firebirds. They were undefeated throughout and won all their games bar one which ended in a draw, congratulations to them. Also to Leopards who managed their only win in their last game of the league season!
Next week we will have a knockout Cup competition to see if anyone can stop Firebirds from having a clean sweep this year 😀
Don't forget there is the Solstice Touch Festival on the 21st and I hope we can get a contingent of Aberdeen players along. It is to be a relaxed, friendly tournament and although we will have an ultimate winning team, the aim is to enjoy Touch in a relaxed atmosphere. No bouncy castle but maybe some games to keep you occupied between Touch games.
Many thanks to all those who stepped up to referee and especially Sharkey who took on a number of solo refereeing slots.
Here are the results from week 4 and an updated table:
