The 31st Rosslyn Park Floodlit 7s are taking place on Wednesday 11th May from 5pm, there will be a star studded lineup for this great event. Tickets are available on the door for £10.
Teams from all over London have been invited: NEC Harlequins, London Welsh, London Scottish, Rosslyn Park, Blackheath, Richmond; as well as teams from outside London: Cambridge University, Oxford University, London Wasps, London Irish, Saracens and last year's winners The Army.
The teams are split into four groups with Harlequins facing Saracens in the first game of the tournament as well as Cambridge University.
| Group A | Group B |
|
Cambridge University |
London Wasps |
| Group C | Group D |
|
London Scottish |
Blackheath |
The floodlit tournament is made possible because of the generous donation in 1960 of the floodlights by the actor and bon vivant Oliver Reed who was taken by the clubs hospitality.
This will be the last time this season that you will be able to see Harlequins play before the long break for the closed season. And by all accounts NEC Harlequins will be putting out a strong squad coached by Collin Osborne.
The squad is: Darren Clayton, Kai Horstmann, Luke Sherriff, Andy Hodgkins, Steven Jay , Adrian Jarvis, Tosh Masson, Tom Williams, Mike Brown and Simon Keogh
