Exciting action, delicious meals, great crowds, that’s what best describes the Independence Rugby 7s tournament which is held annually to commemorate Nigeria’s Independence anniversary.
The tournament will be staged this year at the Onikan stadium on the 10th and 11th of October 2014.
The two day tournament which started in the year 2009 has since grown to be the biggest Rugby 7s party in West Africa.
Its 2013 edition had a wider International participation with clubs from the UK, Egypt and Ghana adding the much needed International flavour.
However, clubs from every zone in Nigeria competed extremely well and we witnessed two local teams in last year’s final (Cowrie RFC Lagos vs Nigeria Police RFC).
The Police team beat Cowrie RFC 12-7 to emerge 2013 champions.
The 2014 edition promises to be bigger and better, eleven local teams and five international teams will battle for this year’s trophy,
