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 Leicester Tigers Academy emerged victorious at a rain soaked Braidholm 7s after defeating the Glasgow Hawks in the final.

Open Final: The Bal Rams 22 - 5 Ardrossan Accies

The Bal Rams showed terriffic guts and determination to over turn a dangerous Ardrossan side who many had down as the dark horses in this years event after an imprressive showing last year. In the end, the Bal Rams more physical style of play was to prove the difference in the driving rain.

Plate Final: Dyslexia Untied defeat the Tech Tigers

Bright orange sleevless shirts would normally be a good idea for a summer sport like 7s however the Strathclyde University based Tech Tigers probably wished they had gone for wet suits given Saturday's conditions. Nonetheless, they put on some impressive performances as they made it to the Plate Final however they were ultimately undone by an equally impressive Dyslexia Untied team who ran out Plate winners.

The Tigers will battle it out against a string of club and invitational sides from throughout Scotland including local club the Glasgow Hawks and GHA's own invitational side, the Glasgow Titans.
The Braidholm 7s is unique in Scotland in that it includes both an Elite tournament and an Open event for those sides who are more focused on the social element of the game, not that the Open event doesn't end up being any less competitive!

Tournament Organiser Rangi Jericevich said: “We are delighted that the Leicester Tigers have agreed to play at Braidholm this year and look forward to seeing them in action. Our inaugural tournament in 2010 was a great success but we feel that we have really stepped things up a notch this year not only on the field but also with the array of pitch side activities and family entertainment that we've got on offer.”

Note to editors: The Braidholm 7s takes place on Saturday 21 May at GHA Rugby Club, Braidholm Road, Giffnock, Glasgow G46 6EB. The event kicks off at 10.30am with the finals set for 4.30pm. Tickets are available on the gate at £6 for adults, £4 for students/OAPS/U18s. U12s go free.

The main tournament will again be an open format with an emphasis on the 'social' aspect. 16 teams will battle it out (4 pools of 4 followed by knockout rounds) to be crowned the 2011 champions and bring home the £500 prize.

This year we will also be running an additonal elite event, with 8 teams split across 2 pools and the winner taking home a £1000 prize. Any teams interested in entering this event must first contact the organisers via the contact page. We are hoping to attract some big names from the 7s world so watch this space!

Kaiviti were 28-12 up and appeared to have the game sewn up only for Cairn to make a sensational late come back, bringing the score to 28-26. Then in what was just about the final play of the game, Cairn came agonisingly close to scoring the winning try withone of their players being held up inches short of the line.

It was a fantastic day in general with a large crowd enjoying some great rugby in the sunshine.

See you all again next year!

Friday, 26 March 2010

A new breed of rugby sevens tournament has emerged over the past decade.

While traditionally tournament participation would follow an 'invite only' format, the sport's growing popularity has led to an increased demand for 'open' events that permit anyone to apply for entry.

The Braidholm 7s, based at the home of GHA Rugby Club in Glasgow, has been introduced to the rugby calendar with the ambition of becoming Scotland's premier open tournament.

Events that operate an open category, like the Bournemouth 7s and the Manchester Rugby 7s, have seen applications soar in recent seasons.

Outwith the club game, a number of specialised sevens teams have appeared - from corporate-sponsored invitational sides to bands of friends who get together for a few tournaments every summer.

This burgeoning appetite for the game has seen the largest open tournaments develop an almost music festival like reputation, with teams and spectators flocking from far and wide.

Braidholm provides the ideal location for a rugby sevens festival - a large, modern clubhouse, spacious playing fields with plenty of room for spectators, including a stand, ample parking, and good transport links.

Tournament organiser, Rangi Jericevich, said: "We want to create an event that adds an exciting new flavour to the Scottish sevens circuit.

"With our open invite we hope to attract a good mix of clubs and teams from a variety of backgrounds, playing some competitive rugby while enjoying the hospitality and festival atmosphere.

"We've got a variety of things happening on the day, and we've also organised what will be a fantastic after-party held at The Arches, Glasgow's iconic club and music venue."
