...means a lot to Spiders, as they triumph over European opposition.

Glasgow Spiders started the 2009 touch season in style, winning top honours at the Vienna touch tournament against teams from Vienna, Brussels, Munich, and other major European cities. The Viennese hosts put on a fantastic event, and hopefully some of the stunning weather will accompany the silverware back to Scotland.
