Borders Sevens Circuit

The Borders Sevens Circuit, is the name given to rugby union sevens Tournaments that are held annually in the Scottish Borders.

It is the oldest Sevens Circuit in the world with most sevens dating from the 19th Century.

The ten most prestigious of these tournaments make up a league competition known as the "Kings of the Sevens". [http://www.radioborders.com/article.asp?id=74858] Teams competing gain points depending on how far they progress in each tournament, the Winner gains ten points, runner up seven points, semi-finalists five points and teams who are emliminated at the quarter final stage gain three points.

Current Champions are Selkirk, who sealed consecutive Kings of Sevens titles at the Jed-Forest Sevens.
