Bath Rugby

On Friday 6th August at 6pm Bath Rugby are opening their gates for an evening of entertainment as we host the inaugural Final of the J.P. Morgan 7s Series Final.

The new sevens series is provoking quite a following as it provides an opportunity to see some exciting, running rugby in quick-fire contests in top-class venues.

Last week saw the opening round of the competition take place at the Stoop as a great crowd turned up to watch Quins, Saracens, London Irish and Wasps all play against each other in a round robin competition.

The two victors of the evening were home side Harlequins and Saracens who will both be making the journey to the Rec on Friday 6th August to play their part in the Final.

Tonight sees the second round of the competition take place at home of Leicester Tigers, Welford Road. Leicester Tigers will lock horns with Leeds Carnegie, Newcastle Falcons and Sale Sharks in a bid for their place in the Final.

The South West leg of the competition is scheduled for 30th July.

So why not book your tickets now to be a part of this fantastic new tournament and enjoy a great Friday night out at the Rec on Friday 6th August? Gates will open at 6pm for this fun event. Games will start at 7.30pm and finish by 10pm and there will be music and entertainment at the Rec making the event an exciting summer evening out for an after-work party or for families.

Peter Tom, chairman of Aviva Premiership Rugby, said: "Sevens has been a part of the rugby calendar for many years but there has been increased coverage and interest in recent seasons, especially now that this version of the sport has been accepted as an Olympic event for 2016.

"Having rugby recognised in the Olympic Games is a massive step for the game as a whole in terms of appealing to a worldwide audience.

"Sevens has a major appeal with exciting quick-fire contests and this is also an opportunity for players to develop their game in a competitive arena."
