CHIPPENHAM are hosting one of the biggest ladies touch tournaments in the country on Saturday.
The Spring Chick will take place at Allington Fields with teams coming from Nottingham, Dublin, Cardiff, Manchester, London, Exeter, Oxford, Bournemouth, Southampton, Reading, Bristol and Bath to take part.
Chippenham, who were runners up in the Plate last year, will once again be entering a side.
The first game is expected to kick-off at 9.45am with the final being played at 4.30pm.
Many of Saturday's teams will have international players who are preparing for the Touch World Cup that is being held in Australia in a few months’ time.
Both senior and open teams for England, Scotland and Wales will stay on for friendly matches until 3pm Sunday at Chippenham.
Meanwhile, Chippenham's men’s touch player Sam Cutler will be presented with a cheque from the club.
Cutler has made it into the England Men’s open team and funds have been raised by members of the club to help towards his costs of going to World Cup in Australia.
