SPORTING enthusiasts are being encouraged to support a new touch rugby league which is being launched in Newcastle Emlyn.
The league, organised by Emlyn-based members of the West Wales regional touch team the Red Kites/Barcutiaid Coch who recently represented the region in the Wales Touch Nationals in Swansea, is holding a free taster evening on Friday, from 6.30pm to 8pm.
It is open to anyone aged 14 or above.
Organiser Curtis Bradford says: "We are hoping to get plenty of people along to the night.
"It is a great way to improve fitness and have some fun with friends.
"This is a mixed league so we would like to see some ladies come along and give it a go alongside the men."
If this touch taster gets a good following, the league will then launch the following week, Friday, May 31.
Touch rugby player and enthusiast Matthew Adams said: "It's an open sport for all abilities and levels of fitness."
