The 21st Middlesex 7s Festival will
go ahead in May 2021
WE ARE DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE 21ST MIDDLESEX 7S FESTIVAL WILL NOW TAKE PLACE ON SUNDAY 2nd MAY 2021.
Following the suspension of all sporting gatherings earlier this year which forced us to postpone the 2020 Middlesex 7s Festival, the Festival Committee had reserved a provisional date of Sunday 30th August. Despite the recent relaxation of Covid-19 measures, it would be impossible to hold a meaningful competition this summer.
Instead, we’re pulling out all the stops to hold our 21st anniversary event on Sunday 2nd May 2021. We’ll be returning to the Richmond Athletic Ground for a bumper of a celebration, and we hope that you will be there to help us celebrate.
As the default position, all clubs that had entered the 2020 competition will be automatically transferred to the new event date next May and their entry fee held on account. However, if you would like to have your entry fee returned now, please also let us know. In this case, you will need to enter again at the appropriate time.
If you have any queries, or to request a refund, please email sevens@middlesex7s.com
Tickets will go back on sale via Eventbrite nearer the time, and towards the end of the year our entry form will be published on the website for teams who would still like to enter.
In the mean time, stay safe and well, and we look forward to seeing you next year.
A big thank you from us!

Winners of the men’s and women’s Open Competition accumulate series points to qualify for the England Rugby Sevens Series finals at Nottingham on 11th July. The more local qualifiers you enter, the more chances you have to accumulate points.

Club Sevens History
Since its inception in 1999, the Club Sevens has developed to encompass women’s and students’ competitions along with a Vase competition for the more junior clubs.
First played over two weekends with the finals at Harlequins’ Stoop Memorial ground, Club Sevens relocated to Richmond Athletic Ground in 2006 so that all 7s competitions could be run simultaneously across the RAA’s seven pitches on the same day.
With teams competing from throughout Middlesex and beyond, the event retains the traditional end-of-season slot, and the festival atmosphere to go with it. The organising committee really knew the event had made it into the rugby calendar when, just like the senior competition, in 2008 they had their very own streaker.
