District sevens

We have the chance of playing in a district sevens tournament for the next 4 Thursday evenings.  If the players want to we can enter a squad.  The first one is tomorrow in Morriston (meet at Morriston RFC 5pm), so we will send out a Teamer to check interest.

"The district will be holding a series of 7,s rugby on the  following dates; 24/4, 2/5, 9/5, 16/5, to which all clubs are invited,  at local  venues( to be confirmed).There will be a full set of games lasting 5 mins each way  and involve pool games first to be followed by the main cup, bowl and plate, on each occasion."  Squads of 10, plus 2 reserves for each event so everyone can have a go if they want.

The details for the event on Thursday are as follows (I have highlighted our group in red.  The inference is the group winners go into the Cup, second into the Bowl, third into the plate, so we would have a minimum of 3 games):
