SINGAPORE CRICKET CLUB INTERNATIONAL RUGBY 7S 2023

The SCC International Rugby 7s will be held this year from Friday 3rd to Sunday 5th November, with teams from Fiji, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Borneo joining three Singapore sides to battle it out on the Padang.

With the finals of the SCC Rugby Academy 7s and Touch tournament being played during the SCC international 7s, this tournament always proves to be a fantastic family weekend filled with exciting rugby.

Tickets and corporate hospitality packages are now on sale. Please contact scc7s@scc.org.sg for more information or bookings.

SINGAPORE CRICKET CLUB SEVENS LONG LUNCH

The Singapore Cricket Club Rugby Section will be hosting their infamous Long Lunch in the run up to the annual SCC International Rugby 7s tournament. Ex-internationals Andy Powell (Wales) and Brendan Laney (Scotland) to add some tall tales and entertaining stories.

Please contact SportsDept@scc.org.sg for more information or if you would like to book a table.

DON’T FORGET YOUR CASH FOR ICE POPS!

Ice Pops are back on sale at the F&B Hut at Dempsey on Saturdays. They are $2 each – CASH ONLY PLEASE. Please bring the exact change if possible, as it only takes one person paying with $50 or $100 for one ice pop to wipe out all our change. Thank you!

KEEP HYDRATED

With the hot and humid weather, it’s very easy to become dehydrated, especially if you have been on holiday in cooler climates and may not have acclimatized yet. This is particularly so for the young, and those partaking in outdoor activities – such as rugby and touch!

Dehydration affects our brain’s ability to regulate body temperature, and by the time we experience actual thirst, our brains are already partially dehydrated.

Please make sure your children hydrate well before they come down to training, ensure that they have a full water bottle with them, and encourage them to take sips regularly even if they don’t feel thirsty. If they run out of water, there is water pitch side where they can refill their bottles.

KIT

If your team is taking part in games or tournaments, we would kindly ask that you ensure that your child is wearing their full and up-to-date kit. They must wear the latest playing jersey/touch tops which have our sponsors latest logos on them. Please keep the old tops with the old logos just for training.

We need to honour our sponsors contribution and support by wearing the tops that they have sponsored for us.
