A message from Mark Roberts.
Playing Worcester Warriors Homeless rugby on the astro at Sixways, Banbury Touch finished the year with two wins!
The first match was won 6-5 and the second 7-6. Worcester Warriors kindly supplied some tickets for their European match against Oyonnax which some of the squad stayed on to watch – a huge thank you to Worcester for their hospitality.
In the evening the squad met at The Spice Room in Bodicote for our awards presentation and we were kindly joined by Simon and Alex from the media team. Photos of all the prizewinners can be seen by clicking here.
Winners of the following awards were:
Best New Player 2017: Huw Jones
Best Female Player 2017: Laura Anderson
Best Male Player 2017: Gareth Thomas
Most Improved Player: Steve Anderson
Best League Player: Jason Mcleod

Lastly, we would like to thank all the touch players and Banbury Rugby Club - with a special mention to the Media Team and Trina Deegan - for all your support in 2017. Let’s now push-on and make Touch Rugby at Banbury Rugby Club even stronger in 2018!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Gareth and Mark.
