Welcome
to Haberdashers’ Boys’ School I would like to welcome all players, staff and parents to the Habs Rugby Sevens Festival. The aim of the week is to grant the students some much needed game time ahead of the traditional Schools Sevens programme after half term. I hope that staff and students will use the opportunity to develop their skills and understanding of the game in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. The number of teams that have entered the festival varies each day so please check the programme for details such as tournament format, length of matches and pitch allocation. Please also be aware of the law changes for each age group, according to RFU regulations.
The size of the squad is unlimited but only 12 may be available for each match. Roll on-roll off substitutions are unlimited. Hot soup and tea and coffee will be available for all during the course of the afternoon, served from the foyer of the Penne’s Changing Rooms. A packed tea will be available for all players and staff prior to departure. I hope that you enjoy the week!
Mr Alastair Metcalfe Master in Charge of Rugby
