Launch of Eastside Eagles

Monday night marked the first-ever training session for the Eastside Eagles in East Belfast. Following a successful fundraising social the previous Friday, the turnout exceeded all expectations - an impressive 27 people attended, with 21 of those being completely new to Touch!

The session, led by coaches Andy and Steve, introduced everyone to the basics of the game while ensuring fun was had by all! The evening ended with two simultaneous games of Touch where everybody had the chance to practice what they had learnt. The general consensus was that Touch is a great game but a lot more tiring than anyone had anticipated but there were still smiles all round!

Hopefully the next training session on Friday will bring even more new faces. We can't wait to see the Eagles continue to grow and build towards the first round of the DTS in Belfast.
