The event attracts 20,000 people, with national 7s rugby and national netball competitions taking place. But increasingly the focus on Touch has grown.

This year there was both a mixed and men's competition, with both attracting around a dozen teams.

The mixed competition hosted some familiar names from the NTS and CTS, including Thames Valley, Galaxy and Warwick.

And at the end of 2 days of play, it was Thames Valley Vikings who took the cup title, defeating Galaxy in the final. Warwick also brought home some silverware, winning the plate competition after a loss to Thames Valley on Day 1.
