2025 Sardis 7’s – Updated Tournament Preview
The 2025 Sardis 7s is nearly upon us – the 7s tournament is taking place over three consecutive days at Sardis Road and it all gets underway tomorrow evening (Friday 25th July) with the Youth Leg of the tournament – all the dates and start times are listed later on in this article and please note – there are updates to the start times. We also have links to all the schedules for each competition category as well as the tournament’s rules and regulations.
Last year’s three-day competition was a huge success once again. As is now customary the Youth Leg got the weekend underway on the Friday with Ynysybwl winning the Bowl, Treorchy winning the Plate and Pontypridd were crowned Cup Champions.
Then on Saturday 27th July 2024 a full day of white-hot rugby action got underway early afternoon with lots of closely fought matches being the order of the day. The afternoon was brought to its climax with the Cherubs winning the Plate whilst Cynon Crusaders lifted the main Cup competition and were crowned champions of the Senior Leg of the 2024 competition.
On the Sunday the U16s leg of the tournament brought the curtain down on a brilliant weekend of rugby action – Pontypridd won the Bowl, Bridgend Athletic triumphed in the Plate competition and Llanharan lifted the Cup.
