Two Eastern Counties Schools enter RFUW National Sevens
March 31st, 2008
It can be hard for clubs to decide whether to enter the various Sevens Tournaments which take place during the Summer Term, but exams are not stopping two schools from our part of the world putting their best feet forward.
Wisbech Grammar School only started offering Girls (Sevens) Rugby this winter, and the National Sevens will be their first major tournament.
East Norfolk 6th Form College won the National Schools Sevens a few weeks ago, despite not having a single club rugby player in their squad. With most of their team being experienced Association Football players, they demonstrated real flair for putting the ball into space (by hand of course!), and were deserved winners against schools and colleges containing experienced regional players, and in one case an England U20 International. At the end of May they could well give several clubs entrants a nasty fright.
The very best of luck to both!
Update 8th April: Wisbech advise that they will also be entering the Hertfordshire Sevens on Sunday 18th May, for which entries appear still to be open.
