Former Warringah Rugby player Bruce Frame secured a Development Officers role with the Singapore Rugby Union in 1995 and immediately saw the potential for Touch to be developed in the Republic. With the aid of Maureen Thomson and Gil Turner he set about having the Rugby Clubs form Touch teams and compete against each other. Bruce organised Coaching and Referee clinic and utilised the services of the then Director of Coaching for the Australian Touch Association. His Rugby duties soon conflicted with the Touch organisation so he handed the reigns over to Bryan O'Connor who took Singapore Touch to another level. Brian formed a National Association and applied to join the Federation of International Touch. Singapore became its 17th Member on 17th August 1996 and entered teams in the World Cups in 1999, 2003 and 2011. Touch Singapore held its first affiliated National Touch Championship on August 17th 2002. Brian's foresight and innovation saw Singapore become the hub of Touch Football in Asia with Singapore hosting an Annual Clubs Tournament commencing in 2002. the World Club Championships in 2004, the Asian All Schools in 2005 and the Asian & World University s Touch Championships in 2006, Development in the region didn't stop there. Brian organised Women 20, Women Open and Women 27 teams to attend the Australian National Titles A new administration under the guidance of Singapore Rugby Club established in 2017 an 11 member committee to oversee the sport into the future. Their efforts were rewarded with their first official Test match in the women division against Japan in June of 2018 If there are any errors or omissions please notify the Historian for the Federation of International Touch, Mr Peter Shefford at peter.shefford@internationaltouch.org Cary Thompson Touch Historian & Author FIT President 1991-2007
