Sevens Tournament was a Huge Success

It didn't snow, it didn't rain, it wasn't freezing...not sure if we're in Kansas anymore Toto.

The Irish gods were smiling upon us and we had the most perfect March day for our KCGAC Sevens tournament. Director Sully divided the club up into the four Provinces of Ireland and we had a round-robin first and then knock-outs for the championship position.

Connaught 3-5 Vs Leinster 1-0...Winner Connaught
Munster 2-4 Vs Ulster 1-5...Winner Munster
Connaught 1-9 Vs Munster 2-3...Winner Connaught
Ulster 2-3 Vs Leinster 1-3...Winner Ulster
Munster 2-3 Vs Leinster 2-7...Winner Leinster
Ulster 0-1 Vs Connaught 4-5...Winner Connaught


CHAMPIONSHIP
WINNER Connaught

Instead of having a 3rd and 4th place playoff, we combined some of the lads from the other teams to give the finalists a few extra subs to help the tired and weary legs after so many games in a row.

It was great craic and we even had a few fans down at Swope Park cheering us on. Best of all this year, we were injury free.
