On the 3rd September, 32 teams from various school across the Cape Town area and surrounds will take part in the 42nd Villager School Sevens Tournament.

Last year’s Trophy Winners – Bishops (Diocesan College) will be looking to defend their crown, having won it for the 20th time in 41 years in 2009.

The tournament was founded in 1968 by Dave Stewart and John Gainsford… who were backed by Logans Sportsmans Warehouse since it’s inception. The first match was played in 1969. And, for 42 years, the Villager – Sportsmans Warehouse union has grown from strength to strength.

The matches are played across all three (A,B and C) of the Villager Football Club fields. Fields close progressively through the day, finally to a point where all of the finals are played on the A Field.

Food and Drink are provided by the Villager Football Club Bar (over 18’s only) and “The Brooksider” will be whipping up fast & delicious pub grub (slap-chips, hot-dogs, boerewors rolls, burgers and plenty more). Coke and Powerade will be fueling the players and spectators. SPUR STEAK RANCHES, BUTLERS PIZZA & PRONTO COFFEE will be providing food outlets, and a coffee station on the night as well.

Limited secure parking is available on the Claremont Public School fields at R10 per car.

We look forward to seeing you supporting you school, and our up and coming rugby youth on the night… and witnessing this awesome brand of quick, skillful rugby.

Entry is R10 per person. You will receive a programme at the gate, or from the announcers caravan.
