Rugby players from all walks of life and all levels of skill compete on equal terms of skill and enjoyment. The very social nature of rugby and the fact that it is a game for all weathers makes it an ideal sport for our isolated rural areas where long trips and overnight stays are commonplace. Mull’s geographic position in the centre of this remote area makes it the perfect setting for a competition of this nature. For these reasons the Sevens Committee award trophies to the best West Highland team in the tournament. In 1992 the Mull Sevens made rugby history by running a dual tournament for both ladies and men. This was the first of its kind anywhere in the world! This makes 2015 the thirtieth anniversary of the Most Sociable Sevens and the twenty-fourth Worlds first men’s and woman’s sevens tournament. THE THEME OF THE 2015 SEVENS IS BACK TO THE EIGHTIES MULL 7’s PRIZES Men’s Winner Gruline Cup & Medals Women’s Winner Pink Cup & Medals Best West Highland Team’s ( Men's & Women's ) Trophies to Keep & Medals Players of the Tournament ( Selected by the Referees’ and Chosen from the West Highland Teams ) A great Social Seven’s !!!!

The coast line, broken by sea lochs, bays and inlets is the amazing length of over 300 miles. On Sunday 30th July, 1978 the first game of Rugby was played and won on Mull! Shortly after, the Isle of Mull Rugby Club was formed and has thrived on what can only be described as arduous conditions. In 1989 the Mull Rugby Club won three 7’s tournaments. These playing achievements and the completion of the Garmony Sports pitches gained the club the honour of being MacEwan’s Club of the Month in September 1989. In 1992 the Mull Club made history by running the first dual sevens tournament for both men and women. This tournament is now recognised as the "Worlds most Sociable Sevens". Shortly after the clubhouse was completed. In 2002 the club became the first Glasgow and District island side to be promoted to the National Leagues. Mull was the first club awarded the Hydro Electric Club of the Month in September 2007. This reward was given in recognition of the success of the junior section which had cumulated in winning both a National Tag Rugby Title and the Murrayfield tournaments Fair Play Award. A major refurbishment was completed in 2011 to upgrade the Garmony facilities to an Island Sports Hub. Mull are the holders of the Mull Sevens Trophy WOMEN’S SECTION: Mull women’s teams have won the main tournament once. The women’s rugby team was officially constituted into the Isle of Mull Rugby Club in 1992. CLUB PITCH: Garmony. CLUB HOUSE: Garmony Clubhouse. ARRAN RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB CLUB HISTORY: It is often said that Arran is Scotland in miniature - having wild mountains to the north and a fertile plain to the south. An ideal gathering ground for rugby players. Arran Rugby club was started in September 1975. NUMBER OF VISITS TO THE MULL SEVENS 10 BENBECULA NOMADS RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB CLUB HISTORY: North Uist, Benbecula and South Uist have been linked by bridges and causeways to form a single ‘long island’. Benbecula is separated from its neighbours by stretches of shell sand and quick sand. In 1977 some local lads and schoolboys got together and formed a rugby team. They have no home for the club; hence the name Benbecula NUMBER OF VISITS TO THE MULL SEVENS 1 BUTE RUGBY CLUB CLUB HISTORY: With the mountains of Arran to the south and those of Argyll to the north, Bute is a lowland island in a highland setting.

Of his front cover photo, captured David Whiteford holding his old 1XV shirt, he says, “I wish had smiled but it was really cold.” Merchiston is at the beginning of raising funds for the new sports facilities and its community outreach programme. As this magazine is submitted to the Features printers, the first diggers begin cutting the turf for the 2G all-weather sports 37 Frozen Tackle - pitch. It is an exciting time of change.
