Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, we had no option but to cancel the 7s this year as it simply would have been too dangerous to play.....

The current heatwave and drought-like conditions have left huge cracks and holes across all 3 pitches. We have been trying to fill these with sand and soil but eventually realised that our efforts would prove futile in view of their size and the scale of the problem.
