The Braidholm 7s is back and this year is set to be bigger and better. The tournament is due to take place on Saturday the 26th of May, with 24 teams competing from throughout the UK.
Once again we hope to attract a great mix of social, invitational and club sides competing in both our Men's Open and also our Elite tournament which last year was won by a fantastic Leicester Tigers Academy side who beat the Glasgow Hawks in the final.

The 2012 Braidholm 7s was won by the Minerva Builders, a Glasgow Hawks based invitaitonal side captained by former Scotland 7s International Peter Jericevich. The Builders defeated home side GHA in the final by 38 to 22 (6 tries to 4), with a fantastic performance. Peter was later awarded the Specsaver Newlands Player of the Tournament as he led a talented Builders squad starring Hawks full back Craig Gossman, Ayr fly half Ross Curle, Hawks centre Dean Kelbrick and the indefatigible Hawks flanker Grant Strang.
GHA took an early lead through Niall Cassie but the Builders responded with 4 unanswered tries before half time as the home side looked off the pace. However, GHA came back into it in the second half scoring three tries but just as the come back win looked on, Gossman scored a terriffic try from half way, chipping ahead and judging the typically unpredicatable bounce of the ball to perfection to dot down with in millimetres of the dead ball line. As GHA threw caution to the wind with seconds to go, another kick chase from the Builders was scored, this time by the dimunitive Sean Murray who's blistering speed was evident as he raced in for the try on the final whistle.
The Minerva Builders had come through a tough semi final against a well drilled Ardrossan Accies side after putting out he Greencok Wanderers in the Quarters. GHA's path to the final had proved less troublesome as they brushed aside the Monkey Trees in the Quarters before defeating the Melrose Powerbombs 42-0 in their semi final.
In an intense plate final, Hillhead/Jordanhill defeated East Kilbride in an enthralling game.
