It was the 60th anniversary of the Sunshine Sevens at East Grinstead RFC which saw ladies, community clubs, elite men and junior teams compete over two days.

Not only is the Sunshine Sevens an RFU qualifying event, it is also the longest running Charity Rugby Sevens Tournament in the UK, this year raising funds for Step by Step School for Autism, Special Families East Grinstead and Wooden Spoon.
