THE 2011 - WEST COUNTRY 7's RUGBY 

Another exciting event was held at Keynsham Rugby Club this year

with some brilliant rugby 7's played.

There was a whole range of teams both national and international to excite

the crowd at the Crown Field KRFC ground. Below is a rundown of the event format.

We were thrilled that the GlanTaff Goats were worthy winners at the Memorial 7's with runners up team Old Reds who have always been successful competitiors.

Out thanks go to Keynsham RFC for enabling the event to take place & also to all the members who pitched in to make the event a success.
