The Brass Monkey Taipei Touch League v4

TTLv4 Banner_alt copy

The Brass Monkey Taipei Touch League starts this Saturday at Bailin Riverside Rugby Fields. This League sees seven teams participating including, for the first time, a team from Taipei American School – TAS Varsity Touch. The 2-times defending champions, the Taiwan Celts, will be looking to make it a three-peat this League, but will need to fight off challenges from the other six teams involved.

The League provides a great stage on which players in Taipei can improve their touch skills, and also learn more about the sport by getting involved as referees and officials.

The League will run for four weeks (Nov 22, Nov 29, Dec 6, Dec 20), with a playoff style Finals Series to be held on the final week. Spectators, supporters & helpers are always welcome to come down to the field. Our other sponsors, Leo’s Tuckshop & Redpoint Brewing Co. will be selling delicious pies & beers at the event, while Mr Sausage’s Kitchen will also be putting up prizes for players.
