Villager Sevens Success
It was a lovely afternoon/evening at Brookside for the 46th playing of the Villager Sevens and the players responded to the weather with some excellent rugby, especially from the quarterfinals to both finals.
Hoërskool Tygerberg were again brilliant, winning for the third consecutive year, four times in the last five years, dominating the tournament as Bishops did in ages part. Tygerberg beat Bishops 26-24 in the final thriller. On way they beat two country giants, Paul Roos in the quarters and Paarl Gim in the semis. In all three of their end matches Tygerberg were challenged the matches thrilling.
Tygerberg go on to play in the Sevens at Eldoraigne in Pretoria on 12/13 September and then in the Western Province Sevens at Florida Park on 19 September 2014.
