Autumn Tournament 2023 Review

Try Tag Rugby’s Autumn Tournament took place on Saturday 21st October, the largest Autumn Tournament in TTR history.

Returning to King’s House Sports grounds, teams had a mixture of sunshine and rain to contend with throughout the day.

In the Division 1 Cup Final, played in awful conditions, Cuzzies and Pick ‘N’ Mix battled it out in a low scoring affair. With just one try sealing with the win for Cuzzies in a tight contest no thanks to the driving rain which made expansive play difficult for the teams. Paul McCullagh from Cuzzies was rewarded for his efforts in the winning team with the Division 1 male player of the tournament prize, with runners up provided the female player of the tournament through Jane Pilgrim.

In Division 2, Cup winners were Deirdre’s Angels while the Plate was won by Try Kings. Meanwhile in Division 3, the Cup went to Sweet Tagoline, the Plate to the aptly named Slippery pitches, while the Bowl was won by Why the Ferny Face?, Blood, sweat and beers were winners of the Division 3 Shield. Finally in Division 4, Cup winners were C U Next Tagfest with the Plate going to Scrum If You Wanna Go Faster.
