Invicta Finish Third in Mixed National Touch Series R3

Invicta’s elite mixed side secured the club’s best ever National Touch Series result with third place in Division One at the final round of this year’s competition in Burton-on-Trent on Saturday.

This was a great end to a season that we began in Division Two, before winning promotion to to the top division at Round 1 in June, and surpassed the 5th place achieved by our men’s team earlier this year.

Wins against London Galaxy and Cambridge Hornets in the pool stage set up a quarter-final against NQ Rebels, which Invicta edged 4-3. Nottingham Hoods took the semi-final honours but we finished on a high by defeating Nottingham Mavericks in the third-place play-off to secure the club’s first ever top 3 finish at an elite national event.

Team: Holly Atkinson, Cassandra Firman, Gus Lister, Toby Lister, Matt Mayall, Charlie Meredith, Vaughn Meredith, Eliot Nye, Euan Strachan, Alice Summers, Tor Summers, Danny Ticehurst, Lydia Ticehurst, Alex Waldron, James Waldron
