Mastercard Mercantile Rugby 7s set for grand return in September
The much anticipated Mastercard Mercantile Rugby 7s is poised to make a triumphant return this September, bringing with it a dynamic showcase of athleticism, strategy, and team spirit. Set to take place over three thrilling days from September 26 to 28, the tournament will be hosted at the iconic CR&FC ground in Longdon Place.
This year’s event promises to be a premier sporting spectacle, with teams from across the mercantile sector competing for the prestigious title in what is expected to be a fiercely contested battle. As the excitement builds, team managers and captains are urged to attend a crucial meeting during the first week of September to finalise the tournament’s key details. Entry submissions will close on September 13, with the eagerly awaited tournament draw scheduled for September 23.
Returning as the title sponsor for the second consecutive year, Mastercard reaffirms its commitment to this distinguished event, underscoring the tournament’s significance in the local sports calendar. All eyes will be on 3DH International, the reigning champions who secured an emphatic victory in last year’s final against the John Keells Group. Their win marked a moment of redemption after narrowly missing out on the championship the previous year. As the tournament approaches, the question remains if 3DH International will defend their crown, or will a new contender emerge to claim the title.
