On Sunday, June 11th Canada Touch Rugby held their touch rugby championship at the York Lions stadium as guests to the Toronto Arrows. The top teams from the three leagues competed in a tournament to decide the champions of Canada Touch Rugby. Ultimately, the defending champions Bohicas came out on top once again. Congratulations to the women’s player of the tournament Ally Govier of Tempo Fitness, the men’s player of the tournament Robbie Neilly of the Bohicas, as well as all the other participants. Thank you to all participants for a fun day of touch rugby followed by supporting the Toronto Arrows in their final game of the regular season. Thank You to the Toronto Arrows for hosting a great day of competition to close out the 2023 season of touch rugby. We hope to see returning players and many new faces at our summer tournament taking place on Saturday, August 5th 2023.

Canada Touch Rugby is set to host the Grand Finals this coming Sunday from 1-3pm at The Hangar Sport and Event Centre. This year is unique in that the top three teams from each respective league (U.C.C., The Hangar, and Burlington) will be competing to hoist the ‘CTR Cup.’ In previous years, only the top team from each league was invited to compete.

“With additional top caliber teams in this years finals, we feel this tournament will be a true representation of the CTR Champions considering the growing talent pool in each of our member leagues,” Steve Shortly says.

What ever happens on the day it should be a fun day for all considering the Grand Final week is a ‘bonus’ rugby week for all teams invited to compete. With that being said, it sure would be nice to have bragging rights for this one. Teams competing are posted below and for those interested, the tournament bracket will be posted in the next few days.

Good luck to all teams participating this coming weekend!
