New Touch Training Game! Gem Newydd Ymarfer Cyffwrdd

OK, so my wife, kids and I wanted to do some Touch practice ready for this weekends tournament.  Only problem was, the washing was hanging out to dry in the back yard, so we didn’t have much room.  But with typical resourcefulness, we adapted and made up our own game – rugby, crossed with badminton and volley ball!

How to play:
Mark out a playing court with cones.  Pass the ball over the net (washing line), if the ball lands in your opponents area, you win a point, if outside the area, they win the point.  No downward throws are allowed.  Try and avoid treading on the babies or letting the ball hit them!  Try and ignore the excitable dog trying to steal the ball!  First to five wins!  You can play singles or doubles

This could be the latest craze to sweep the nation!!  Get involved – send your training videos to Cyffwrdd Gorllewin Gwyllt / Wild West Touch

WWT Commission A New Logo

It is with great pleasure that Cyffwrdd Gorllewin Gwyllt / Wild West Touch unveil it’s brand new logo.

The logo was created by designer, Ben Davies of Ben Davies Design.  Ben is available for all kinds of design work, particularly specialising in t-shirt and poster design.

The brief was to create a striking, modern logo that clearly highlighted a regional identity, i.e. west Wales and also the sport of Touch.

The character is of a Red Kite, an amazing bird of prey that can often be seen hovering over the fields in west Wales looking for it’s next feed!  Or in the logos case – a Touch ball!

Gorllewin Gwyllt is the Welsh phrase for Wild West.  Many of Wales’ Welsh speakers are native to Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion and the language is widely spoken in Llandysul where WWT12 will take place.

You can learn some useful Welsh phrases by taking a look at this useful video.  You’ll be talking Welsh to the locals in no time!
