Junior 7s – Palmerston Rugby Union Club

Palmerston Crocs Junior 7s

The Palmerston Crocs Junior Rugby 7s Tournament is an annual 5-week tournament organised and run by Palmerston Rugby Union Club at our home ground at Moulden Oval. It’s great for off-season fitness training and skill development and is a lot of fun for everyone involved, both on and off the field!

First held in 2013 with 6 teams entered, the tournament has gone from strength to strength over the years and now regularly fields 25+ teams. In 2017 it was recognised at the Australia Day Awards as the ‘Palmerston Community Event of the Year’. In 2022, we returned from the pandemic and look forward to continuing our new “September Sevens” into the future.

Registrations

FOR PALMERSTON PLAYERS
Registration is via Rugby Xplorer but we register for an ‘event’ rather than registering directly with the club. Pop into the clubhouse at training if you need some help with the registration process. Palmerston teams are entered in all age groups.

NEW PLAYERS ARE VERY WELCOME!
Come and see us in the clubhouse on any training night before the tournament commences. You will need to register via Rugby Xplorer before you can take the field.

TEAM REGISTRATIONS
All clubs are invited to enter teams across the age groups. If a club doesn’t have a full team in a particular age group, Barbarians teams can be formed.

Invitation For New Coaches And Referees

If you’ve ever thought of becoming more involved in junior rugby, now is the time to do so! The Junior 7s provide a perfect opportunity to develop and improve your skills in a supportive, club-oriented environment. If you are interested in refereeing, the NTRRA runs a referees course prior to each tournament and mentors are on hand for the duration of the tournament. Please contact the club if you are interested.
