The Northern Virginia Rugby Club, 2007 MARFU champion, had a strong showing this past weekend at Exiles 7s, a tournament hosted by the Maryland Exiles, in Silver Spring. This competition was the first venue of the year that featured top competition from the Mid-Atlantic region and served as one of three qualifiers that determine which teams play in the USA Rugby national tournament in August.

Rugby 7s is a variation of rugby union, except each team fields seven players instead of 15. The games total 14 minutes, instead of 80 minutes, in length and tend to be faster-paced with more scoring.
The seasons run during the summer, between the months of May and August. Many clubs will participate in tournaments each week and play at least three games on Saturdays. For more information, visit www.novarugby.com.
