Steeden Development National Touch Series Round 2 preview

Banbury RFC hosts an England Touch event for the first time this weekend, with the Steeden Development National Touch Series heading to the town.

Once again this event was fully booked weeks in advance with 20 teams taking part.

Peterborough Tropics and Derby Merlins, who made their Development NTS debuts in Chester in Round 1, are having their trails followed by Didcot, EY London Vipers and Exeter Eagle Owls, who are all joining the Series.

Manchester Chargers will be looking to build on their form in the opening round, which they won, but there will be plenty of stiff competition from some of the more established clubs within the National Touch Series.
