Seoul Globetrotters reach semifinal in Hong Kong's Intercities Touch Tournament

A score by tournament runners-up Dragons in the last thirty seconds of the semi-final put out Seoul's heroes. Up until then, despite an early loss against the HK development squad, things had gone swimmingly for the side selected from and sponsored by the Spire Seoul Touch Championship.

The quality of the opposition was quite mixed so it was difficult to judge Seoul's progress since last year. However, our presence once again at one of the big international tournaments will encourage more teams from overseas to our International Touch Seoul tournament on 20th September this year.

Well, what a magnificent weekend. 13 proud lads and lasses from Seoul giving their all against Asia's finest touch teams.

Firstly I should say that we all looked lovely in the Seoul ITS whites. In fact, the opposition was even asking to trade shirts, such was the reaction. Admittedly after a few ales

As to the touch itself.....we started slowly and then started to cook on gas. Although some of us took an age to get any tries at all and then only against school kids. And to be honest, we imploded in the final match against a team that we should have dealt to. We wasted some gilt-edged chances that came along and our defense just tired.

Excellent tournament, great weekend and hopefully many new friends and teams that will be over for ITS2008. We have helped put Seoul Touch on the map.

Big shout out to the grrls who were better value than the blokes. And Loren should be knighted for her services to touch
