Far North Rugby 7s Tournament September 17th, 2011

Enjoy a fantastic day of Rugby Sevens sporting fun and some fabulous Northland hospitality at a delicious Kiwi sports day BBQ.

Your Rugby Sevens sporting adventure will get off to a unique start from the Vintage Railway Station in the town of Kawakawa, as you travel on the steam train "Gabriel" to the Taumarere Rugby Grounds.

Sevens games will be played throughout the day with both men's and women's teams in adults and children's grades taking part — so if you are keen to play there's an opportunity for the whole family to get involved!

In addition to the sevens tournament, a range of fun, family activities are being planned. Refreshments will be available to purchase and the day will finish with a classic Kiwi BBQ.

Visitors to Kawakawa and all the Far North local communities are invited to come together for a day of great Kiwi sporting fun!
