Korea Touch restores pride at Asian Touch Champs Day 2

Clearly the Seoul-Tans had something up their sleeves after Saturday's showing as they were able to the raise their performance with two wins out of three on the second day to finish a creditable fifth place in the "open mixed" event. They capped their performance in a ping-pong battle with Southerners in the play-offs, overturning an earlier loss against the same opposition.
Earlier in the day, Amanda darted over for the touchdown that secured a second win over Beijing.

Ice-baths and the massaging of tired limbs clearly helped the second day's performance as did a growing team spirit; this is a team that wears its heart on its sleeve which certainly helped members to gel. Captain Nathan, disappointed by the results on day one, rose to the occasion with the help of Dutch Rudders representative, Cody.

A very enjoyable tournament with plenty of moments to remember and lots of teams at the Asian Champs are now weighing up the idea of travelling to Seoul for ITS 2009.
