Latest news updated for Korea Touch
The website that's all about International Touch Seoul has been updated with latest news on the tournament and tells you all about how to get involved.
With just over 6 weeks to go, it is all hotting up so if your team is enetered, hope the training is going well because competition will be fierce! Will this be the year that a home team captures the trophy? Will Yonsei finally stop choking in the semi finals and show some Korean style?
Check it all out on www.koreatouch.com and book Sept 20 in your diary!

Teams from Singapore and Hong Kong commit to ITS 2008
Will local teams get squeezed out? Certainly spaces are being held for regulars from the Spire Touch Championship and of course encouragement is being made to Korean-only teams to sign up fast....but long term planning isn't normally something you associate with Korea....so wait for a last-minute deluge.
However, with just a week to go before closing out the roster of teams, the tournament looks like being the most international and that surely will help the aim of raising the profile of Touch and showcasing the unique attributes and attraction of the sport.
Lots of work for the organisers now with just over six weeks to go...time for everyoine to come back off their holidays!
