Rugby’s most exciting format, sevens, got under way over the weekend and it was entertaining stuff all the way.

The first of five legs of the LIME summer sevens series was played at the South Sound Ground last Saturday with the remaining tournaments set for the next four weeks.

This year sees three teams in the Premier division with the BPC Buccaneers, The Butterfield O’Neill Irish Wolfhounds and the Maples national sevens academy.

There are two teams in the women’s division with the X107.1 National VII taking on the X107.1 Eagle Rays. In the social division there are five teams with the RE/MAX Knackers, Caybrew Clydesdales, Maples, Cayman Management Ltd Ama Tsotsi and the brand new national Under–17 academy.

The tournament caters to all levels of the sevens fraternity from the elite teams of the premier divisions to the social and developing teams.

The U17 got their feet wet in the tournament with a loss to CML Ama Tsotsi and a fine comeback win over Maples in the social division. The RE/MAX Knackers had a tougher day with losses against the Caybrew Clydesdales and Maples while CML Ama Tsotsi cleaned up the division with wins over the U17, Caybrew Clydesdales and RE/MAX.

The National women’s X107.1 team are using the tournament as a warm up to the NACRA sevens that will be held in Mexico 14–15 November and looked vastly improved from last year’s squad, overcoming the X107.1 Eagle Rays in all three matches.
