False Bay RFC Sevens Rugby Tournament

Shen Promotions and False Bay Rugby Football Club are proud to announce the revival of the original sevens rugby tournament in South Africa

The False Bay Sevens Tournament was first played in 1965 and was stand alone event organised by the current False Bay RFC President Louis De Waal.

The event was staged under the same name until the early 1980’s and thereafter taken over by the Western Province Rugby Union and named the Western Province Seven-a-Side Tournament.

There are awesome prizes and cash for the top teams and hotshot players.
