On Saturday the San Francisco Golden Gate Rugby Club hosts the SFGG Sevens.
The Men’s Division will consist of Life West Gladiators and Olympic Club, as well as the Pelican North and Pelicans South. This is a perfect tournament to get ready for the Pacific North tournament on July 3oth.
The Pacific North tournament will feature the top teams from the Pacific Northwest and Northern California. The Seattle Saracens, winners of the past three Club 7s National Championships are likely to finish in the top two at the Nor Cal Championships. Life West Gladiators, Olympic Club and the East palo Alto Razorbacks hope to avoid the Saracens at next weekend’s championship tournament. While the Gladiators and Olympic Club are at the SFGG 7s, the East Palo Alto Razorbacks are at the Pioneer 7s this weekend.
The Women’s Division features Life West Gladiatrix, Berkeley All-Blues , San Jose Shehawks and the Pelicans. The All Blues or Gladiatrix are looking to perform well this weekend as it likely will impact seeding at their regional championship and thus, a better chance of qualifying for Nationals. They both will be competing against Oregon Sports Union and Seattle Saracens on July 30th.
