We are very pleased to confirm that the Herts Girls 7’s on Sunday 8th May 2011 will take place at Hemel Hempstead (Camelot) RFC. This year the tournament has full RFUW recognition and - as well as being a great tournament in its own right - will be a perfect warm-up for the National Sevens the following weekend

This season the Entry Fee is £50 for each U15 and U18 team entered (e.g. 1 x U15 + 1 x U18 = £100) and Free for U12. The invititation letter and entry form have been emailed to all clubs in Hertfordshire, plus previous entrants from outside the county, in the next few days. 


***If you have not had an invitation already and are interested in taking part PLEASE contact Peter Mccullough as soon as possible!***

Places will be allocated on a strictly first come first served basis (no places will be reserved without a completed entry form and cheque) until all the available places are taken.

It is strongly recommend that Herts clubs apply ASAP to guarantee places, before the places get taken by Girls Clubs further afield.
