33rd Annual TN 7′s Tournament- July 11th
July 5, 2009
This Saturday July 11th KRFC will host the TN 7′s Tournament for the 33rd year. It will take place at our home grounds of Possum Park and will be open to all Men’s teams. Come join us for an East Tennessee tradition.
TN 7s saw its highest number of teams during the 1982 Worlds Fair in Knoxville when 40 teams from 15 states and Canada attended. In 2000, the tournament became a USA Rugby South Qualifier. In 2002, local high school teams were entering and in 2007 the High School Division was separated from the Men’s Division.
UPDATE (7/10): FULL SCHEDULE IS POSTED BELOW. SOME TEAMS WILL BE TRAVELING LIGHT SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PLAY AND ARE NOT ON A TEAM, BRING $20 AND ARRIVE EARLY TO JOIN ONE. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOUR TEAM WOULD LIKE TO BE ADDED TO THE WAIT LIST IN CASE OF LAST MINUTE CANCELLATION.
