Rugby 7s Set to be Bigger and Better than Ever

By Editor 6 years ago

The tournament (and its alcohol-drenched afterparty) return to St Andrews.

On Saturday 15th April, the United Kingdom’s largest student-run rugby 7s tournament will take place in St Andrews. Anticipated by players and spectators alike, the tournament’s activities stretch from 9 am to 5 pm, followed by a notoriously rowdy after party. Despite the size of the forty-five year old institution, the event comes at a very affordable price: attending the games is free, and the afterparty tips the scales at a mere £25.

This year’s tournament will mark the official union of the Rugby Club and the St Andrews Cavaliers. The longest running team at the 7s, the Cavaliers play in honour of former Club captain Steven Sims, who passed away in 2012 after a battle with ITP. For the first time, the St Andrews 1st rugby team will be playing under the Cavalier name in the performance tournament. Guests can expect plenty of team kit on display throughout the day.

Fresh of its debut at last year’s 7s, the performance tournament is comprised of six high standard rugby teams from across the country. This allows players to enjoy the day by competing against their own skill level. The social tournament, featuring forty teams, will retain the amateur, inclusive feel that the 7s are known for, while the performance tournament will be a more competitive, spectacle-driven event.

Many familiar faces will be on display in the social tournament. Six St Andrews teams, made up of the various academic years within the Rugby Club, will play, including two recent alumni teams. Local establishments – such the St Andrews Charity Fashion Show, the Football Club, and Blackhorn – have also entered teams.

In addition to the performance and social tournaments, seven women’s teams will be competing amongst themselves. Smaller in scale than the centrepiece tournaments, it is nonetheless a welcome departure from the otherwise male-dominated activities.

With the spectators in mind: both food and drink will be provided at reasonable prices. Buffalo Farm, last year’s lauded food suppliers, will be serving burgers and BBQ throughout the day. Eden Mill, Pimms, and the Union’s famously cheap alcohol will also be available for purchase. The Union bar will make an further appearance at the afterparty, which – thanks to sponsorships from VK and Coors, among many others – is guaranteed to have the cheapest drinks in St Andrews.

Regardless of one’s affinity for rugby, the afterparty has a universal appeal. The event will be held, for the first time, within a marquee on North Haugh. This allows for an extra 300 tickets to be sold, in comparison to the more restrictive Kinkell Byre. Featuring T-shirt guns, various prizes, and an all star DJ lineup, the party promises to be more than just another Sinners. Rugby teams from around the country will be in attendance, and the casual dress code enforces a laid-back vibe that differentiates that event from its expensive, black tie contemporaries. Most importantly, the Blackhorn food truck will be on hand throughout the evening.

All things considered, it seems that Saturday will offer a mix of old and new traditions. Hopefully the sun will shine for what is sure to be an exciting day on the pitch!

After Party tickets can be purchased exclusively through FIXR.

  214. Thanks for a great article that I found interesting reading and share it with my friends. Currently, I have a lot of problems with my financial situation and I am doing everything to solve it. This can be a tough situation for everyone who is living with family or who is trying to become a student. I just downloaded a payday loans app over PlayMarket and I really enjoy what these small apps can give to you. My mother wanted a new car for her birthday and my family got together and bought one. I got part of the money from a financial app and I am happy that I have done that. I hope more people will use them in a regular life.

  256. Thanks for giving your ideas on this blog. Additionally, a misconception regarding the lenders intentions if talking about home foreclosure is that the standard bank will not getreceive my installments. There is a specific amount of time the bank will need payments in some places. If you are very deep within the hole, they’ll commonly require that you pay the particular payment fully. However, that doesn’t mean that they will have any sort of repayments at all. In the event you and the bank can find a way to work a thing out, the foreclosure process may cease. However, in case you continue to skip payments under the new strategy, the foreclosed process can pick up exactly where it was left off.

  265. Good blog post. A few things i would like to bring up is that laptop or computer memory must be purchased if your computer is unable to cope with everything you do with it. One can add two good old ram boards having 1GB each, as an example, but not certainly one of 1GB and one having 2GB. One should always check the company’s documentation for own PC to be sure what type of memory space is necessary.

  275. I have noticed that over the course of developing a relationship with real estate entrepreneurs, you’ll be able to come to understand that, in every single real estate contract, a percentage is paid. In the end, FSBO sellers do not “save” the fee. Rather, they try to earn the commission by doing a good agent’s work. In doing so, they invest their money plus time to conduct, as best they might, the tasks of an realtor. Those jobs include getting known the home through marketing, representing the home to all buyers, constructing a sense of buyer urgency in order to make prompt an offer, booking home inspections, controlling qualification assessments with the mortgage lender, supervising fixes, and facilitating the closing.

  278. Thanks for the write-up. My partner and i have constantly noticed that a majority of people are desirous to lose weight simply because wish to show up slim and attractive. Even so, they do not usually realize that there are more benefits just for losing weight in addition. Doctors state that fat people are afflicted with a variety of ailments that can be perfectely attributed to the excess weight. The good thing is that people who are overweight and also suffering from diverse diseases are able to reduce the severity of their own illnesses through losing weight. You possibly can see a progressive but noted improvement in health if even a small amount of weight reduction is obtained.

  286. Thanks for your post here. One thing I would like to say is that most professional domains consider the Bachelors Degree like thejust like the entry level standard for an online certification. Though Associate Certifications are a great way to start, completing your own Bachelors presents you with many entrances to various professions, there are numerous on-line Bachelor Diploma Programs available by institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another thing is that many brick and mortar institutions provide Online versions of their qualifications but usually for a substantially higher fee than the organizations that specialize in online education programs.

The more I really look at it a lot more I am confident it does not react like a true solid flesh cancer. In case mesothelioma is usually a rogue viral infection, so there is the possibility of developing a vaccine along with offering vaccination to asbestos open people who are open to high risk with developing future asbestos connected malignancies. Thanks for giving your ideas on this important ailment.

  303. What I have seen in terms of computer memory is that there are specifications such as SDRAM, DDR and the like, that must go with the specific features of the motherboard. If the pc’s motherboard is kind of current while there are no computer OS issues, upgrading the memory literally takes under one hour. It’s on the list of easiest laptop upgrade procedures one can imagine. Thanks for revealing your ideas.
