Interdean held its fifth annual Rugby 7s Tournament on Saturday 18 August, 2012.
The event, which was held at the London Wasps Training Ground in Twyford Avenue, raised money for a cause which is dear to the hearts of many, Marie Curie Cancer Care.
There was some great sportsmanship shown by the teams on the day; with a fiercely competitive show on the field. UK rugby clubs clashed with teams from the relocation and moving industry in a bid to win the top prize from Interdean’s notorious tournament.
In the end though, the clear and deserved winners of the Cup were Fox International 7s, who travelled all the way from Wales to take part. London Wasps came in second to take the Plate, followed by the Old Actonians who were awarded the Bowl. SODAM ( a team from the London postal service) beat Interdean for 4th place (The Corporate Cup) in a closely contested battle.
A Fantastic Cause
Marie Curie Cancer Care has been providing support to terminally ill cancer patients and their families for 64 years. The charity dedicates itself to:
- providing specialist homes for the care of cancer patients
- providing nursing for patients at home
- educating the public on the symptoms and treatment of cancer
- providing urgent welfare needs
Interdean has been a proud sponsor of Marie Curie Cancer Care for many years and is delighted that the Rugby 7s events have raised in excess of $120,000 (almost £75,000) for this great cause.
