Viking 7's

It is now official, there is to be a new 7's tournament this year.
The Viking Summer 7's will be held at Spartacus RK on the 4/5th June. With a number of teams visiting from Italy, Spain. Holland, England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland and France this will be an International event with what we are told some very good sides ready to challenge the Swedish clubs for the prize money on offer.
We are given to understand that there will be sponsors for both the Men's and Women's events. with 25,000Sek for the winners of the Men's and 15,000Sek for the Ladies Champions along with the normal trophies.
Without doubt, this is really good news for Swedish Rugby and will hopefully contribute towards the development of the game in Sweden. Now an Olympic Sport it could help showcase 7's and help to attract new participants to the game.

Our congratulations go to Spartacus for their initative in this and we wish them well in this endeavour.
