Peebles Sevens


Peebles Sevens is an annual rugby sevens event held by Peebles RFC, in Peebles, Scotland. This was one of a group of Sevens tournaments instated after the First World War extending the original Borders Spring Circuit. The Peebles Sevens began in 1923.
Due to a calendar change in 2016; the tournament was moved from end-of-season to start-of-season. Hence 2016 shows two winners:- one for 2015-16 season and one for 2016-17 season. Subsequent tournaments were held as start of season Sevens. The 2018 winner is Melrose.
The Peebles Sevens is part of the Kings of the Sevens championship run by the Border League.
This event was one of the first Sevens tournaments in the Borders to run with a 12 person squad in 2018-19 season, as opposed to a 10 person squad. It also featured rolling substitutions.
