THURSDAY 24th APRIL | BOROUGHMUIR SPORTS & COMMUNITY SPORTS CLUB

 

Cavendish Plc Secure Silverware as the New Business Sevens Edinburgh Champions 

Business Sevens returned to the Scottish Capital as teams from across the city gathered for the Business Sevens mixed touch rugby event. A celebration of skill, camaraderie, and charitable giving, this tournament showcased the power of businesses to make a positive impact on their chosen causes.

A total of 15 matches unfolded on the pitch, witnessing an impressive 77 tries. During the event, there were two individuals that stood out, showcasing excellent skills on the rugby pitch. Megan from Cavendish Plc earning the well-deserved title of Female Player of the Tournament. In the final match, Richard, also from Cavendish Plc showcased an outstanding performance, earning him the prestigious Player of the Match award selected by ambassador Ben Vellacott. 

The battle for the Top Try Scorer award saw Richard, from Cavendish Plc, emerge victorious with an impressive 8 tries.  

Cavendish Plc’s victory in the Elite League, showcased not only their rugby prowess but also their commitment to the Grace’s Future. Their win earned a substantial £200 donation from the Business Sevens Charity Pot.  

The Elite league final was a thrilling encounter, with Carbon Financial narrowly missing out on the title. In the Shield league, Johnston Carmichael secured victory and a £100 donation for Alzheimer Scotland, furthering the support of those with Dementia and Alzheimers and those whose lives are impacted by it.   

Adding an extra layer of excitement and inspiration to the event was our esteemed Event Ambassador and guest speaker, Ben Vellacott. As current Edinburgh Rugby scrum-half, his presence and insights from his rugby career added significant value to the event. 

Congratulations to all the participating teams, fundraisers, and exceptional individuals who made this event a memorable success. Here’s to the spirit of competition, camaraderie, and charity that will undoubtedly continue in the seasons to come!
