An update on the summer sevens season so far for our DMP sides.

Morpeth 7s.

DMP 7s ran out winners at their first tournament of 2021 at Morpeth RFC.

Players were keen to get back to playing rugby after a prolonged absence from the game due to the Covid restrictions.

Not the ideal 7s conditions as the rain set in but the players stuck to the task in hand and ran out Cup Final Winners against Akuma Beavers beating Blaydon, Mighty Peth and the Wailers along the way.

Player of the Tournament: Euan McKirdy.

DMP 7s Social Team ran out Plate Winners in the Social Tournament, some old faces rolled back the years and nurtured a couple of younger players to have a decent run out.

Macclesfield 7s

DMP 7s travelled to Macclesfield RFC for their second 7s tournament of the summer with a much changed squad due to players attending the wedding of Warren Seals. This allowing a couple more squad players to have a run out.

The journey down to Macclesfield caught a couple of players out which meant a rather hasty couple of throughs before the first game against Rascals 7s. With the journey still in the legs a 12-12 draw was notched up for the first game. DMP 7s won their remaining two group games and progressed to the Cup quarter finals against Burton RFC.

A strong performance to beat Burton RFC saw DMP 7s progress through to the Cup Semi Final against Lymm RFC.

A tough semi final with a couple of calls not going their way saw DMP 7s lose to Lymm RFC.

Player of the Tournament: Liam Checksfield.

DMP7s are next in action at the Stay Strong Stu 7s being held at Tynedale RFC on Saturday 31st July. We look forward to another tournament and hope friends and supporters can come along and support the team.
