The World’s Largest Inclusive Touch Rugby Tournament
Not quite the weather we hoped, but the tournament play for Touch My Brum 2019 has started.
You can keep track of scores for the first rounds of the tournament at mytournament.info .
The afternoon will have a play off round where two teams with the lowest score from each tier will play to see who goes into the quarter finals. Group G teams will automatically enter the quarter finals.
Afternoon play will start at 2.30 with the Beorma Shield and Eden Tankard Finals being played at 16:15, and then the Calthorpe Cup final at 16:45, this will be followed immediately by the Prize Presentation.
The groups for TMB 2019 are as follows. We have tried to ensure that teams are not going to be playing their neighbours in the group rounds. Group G has it slightly easier due to being a group of three – this means we will work out an equivalent average score for the afternoon rankings.
