Ipswich School would like to welcome you to the Ipswich 7s tournament for U16 and U18 teams at Notcutts field, an event which brings schools from around the country here to enjoy playing Rugby 7s.
We are grateful to our tournament sponsors, A Plan Insurance, for their generous support to make this event possible.
As a school we want to be able to provide the best possible rugby experience for our pupils and hope this tournament encompasses all that we are trying to achieve.
We think it will provide a great opportunity for schools to show all the skills that come with playing 7s. We hope you all have a great day.
