PERSHORE WIN SILVER AND BRONZE IN 2026 MIDLANDS LADIES TOUCH LEAGUE
Pershore Ladies Touch team have scooped silver in the ten-team Southwest Midlands Ladies Touch League (MLTL) competition and bronze in the league's overall 20-team 2026 championship. And at the final deciding tournament of the season on Sunday 11 October, at Harbury, the team were delighted to also win the Spirit of the Games trophy.
Fizz Bewley, lead of Pershore Touch said: “Over the last year we have had a lot of fun playing 20 other ladies' teams at Midlands Ladies Touch League tournaments all over the region, and it seems that the more we simply enjoy playing together as a team and each of us doing our best, the more successful we are. Congratulations to everyone who has played in the team this season and supported us.
“The Midlands Ladies Touch League is a wonderful community of ladies, of all ages and abilities, all aiming to improve their skills and competing to win, but in good spirit, helping each other as friends, and our Pershore Touch team is happy to be part of that. For me and many other ladies in the league too, we get to play alongside our daughters as well, which is really special. It is a low-contact sport, so from the age of 12 girls can play in the league, alongside adults and there are still women in their sixties who play at a high level in the league.”
The MLTL 2027 season will resume in March and will run until October, and a full list of fixtures will be posted here as soon as they are issued.
