Six Selected to Play for England at European Senior Touch Cup

Six of Invicta Touch’s most experienced players have been selected to play in the England masters teams that will be competing at the European Senior Touch Cup in Scotland next week.

Suzanne Wilson will feature for England in the women’s 40s/45s division in the three-day tournament at the University of Stirling, with Dan Dyer in the men’s 45s, Adrian Riggs in the men’s 50s, and Eddie French, Spencer Nye and Martin Reynard playing for the men’s over-55s.

This tournament and the equivalent open divisions event in Italy later in the month are the first competitions in a new four-year cycle for international touch following last year’s World Cup. They provide an opportunity for teams to build towards next summer’s full European Championships in France and eventually the 2028 World Cup in New Zealand.

Nine countries from across Europe will be competing in Stirling. The first games are on the morning of Friday 15th August with the finals taking place on Sunday 17th August. Full fixtures are available on the Federation of International Touch website. Games on field 1 will be live-streamed (without commentary) on the Scottish Touch YouTube channel.
