Scott Lawson will be taking charge at the Touch Tournament
Clubs from as far as Oban to Newton Stewart and Islay to Annan will be descending upon Whitecraigs RFC, Glasgow Warriors' training ground, for the inaugural Warriors Club Touch Tournament on Sunday 30 July.

The tournament sees 32 clubs in eight pools vie to become the touch rugby champions in what promises to be a great day out for all the family.

The Warriors professional players, including Scotland players such as Jon Petrie, Andy Henderson, Alastair Kellock, Donnie Macfadyen, Dan Parks, and Scott Lawson will be refereeing the club matches, so will no doubt be subjected to some banter from the club players, and there'll be lots more going to add to the fun including a barbeque, skills inflatable, tug of war, relay races, autograph sessions and the opportunity to lend your support to the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games bid.

Warriors head coach Sean Lineen said: "We want to be at the heart of the community as far as rugby in the Glasgow area is concerned. Whether you are a regular rugby supporter or have never been to a match before, the day will be a great opportunity to come along, enjoy the friendly atmosphere and see what it's all about - everyone's welcome and everybody at the Warriors is looking forward to seeing you there."

Teams taking part are:

Annan, Ardrossan Accies, Ayr, Cambuslang, Cartha QP, Clydebank, Craigielea, Cumbernauld-RFC/">Cumbernauld, Dalziel, East Kilbride, Garnock, GHA/">GHA, GHK, Glasgow Accies, Glasgow Hawks, Greenock Wanderers, Hamilton, Hillhead/Jordanhill, Islay, Kilmarnock, Lenzie, Linwood, Marr-RFC/">Marr, Newton Stewart, Oban Lorne, Paisley, Strathclyde Fire Brigade, Strathclyde Police, Uddingston, Waysiders/Drumpellier, West Of Scotland, Whitecraigs

Cavers, you are a horrible man! Seeing as I've the Monday off and will most likely still be pickled from your b'day celebrations on the Saturday night then yes I'll join in you in re-boozing on Sunday! Yes, our club website did say Saturday 29th, now says Saturday 30th, maybe soon it will be correct and say Sunday 30th!
