Burnaby Lake Presents the Lighthouse 7s Tournament
Burnaby Lake East fields will be the hotspot Saturday, August 7th when Burnaby Lake Rugby Club hosts the Lighthouse Sevens.
After a 15 year hiatus, Burnaby’s sevens tournament returns to the main stage as the sixth leg of BC Rugby’s newly formed Summer Sevens Series.
The competition heats up as teams find their legs in rugby union’s short game. The often frantic and wide open style of play makes for exciting and unpredictable results; combined with the talent and athleticism of BCs top premiership athletes, the Lighthouse 7s is the perfect blend of irresistible edge of your seat action!
There are three levels of competition offered. Mens and Womens Elite and a Social Mens division. As well, Junior boys will compete in exhibition matches throughout the day. The Senior Categories will compete for cash prizes of $1500, $1000, $500 respectively. The winning team will receive the much coveted Lighthouse Trophy.
Burnaby’s clubhouse, nestled at the edge of Burnaby Lake proves to be the perfect place to wet your whistle; frosty beverages will be served all day. For families, the park provides ample enjoyment with nearby trails, a playground and a concession while taking in a day of 7s rugby.
The action starts bright and early, so bring your lawn chairs, sun screen and vuvuzelas.
Burnaby Lake Rugby Club, BCRU and Vancouver Rugby Union, look forward to seeing you there. For more information please e-mail Roko Kapaiwai, kapaiwai@shaw.ca.
