There has been plenty of success for Canterbury Rugby Club’s touch rugby players to celebrate. The European Championships were held in Nottingham, with six players from Canterbury representing England in three different categories - all winning gold.

Danni Gregory and Lydia Ticehurst won in the women’s open and Vaughn Meredith and Max Howard came out on top in the men’s open.

Spencer Nye and Adrian Riggs were men’s over-50s victors. That event was held from August 2 until August 6. Heading abroad to Vichy, France, Alice Summers, Iris Nasir and Abigail Pritchard won under-18 girls’ gold at the European Junior Championships from August 12 until August 14. “It was really nice because they all got the same colour medal,” said Sally Overson, a Canterbury touch rugby committee member. “They have been training for it for ages. “It’s the first time back after Covid, you don’t really know what the other countries have been doing so you can’t gauge who is going to win, basically.

So it was a really good achievement for England. “They train all over the country because all of the players come from all over England so they have to meet up and train.
