After a two-year absence due to the pandemic, the Abby Middle School City Sevens Rugby tournament returned on April 8.
More than 300 Grade 7 and 8 boys and girls hit the pitch at W.A. Fraser Middle and Yale Secondary, with five different divisions crowned.
The Grade 7 boys division saw Fraser Red edge Clayburn in the final. The Grade 8 divisions had two tiers - for girls, Chilliwack edged Clayburn in Tier 2 while Abby Black defeated Fraser Black in overtime to take the Tier 1 title.
The Grade 8 boys Tier 2 final saw Abby Middle finish ahead of Vedder to take top spot. The Tier 1 final went into overtime, with Fraser Black scoring the sudden death decider to top HD Stafford Black.
