Each year as part of the event we stage a 15s Charity Match as a curtain raiser to the tournament on the Friday Night. This will be an Abbey RFC Select and Invitational XV vs a Wooden Spoon Select and Invitational XV.
FB7s 2022 IS ON
About FB7s
The Fat Blokes Sevens is organised by Abbey Rugby Football Club. We are a group of highly trained athletes with a love of rugby and surreal humour. Abbey RFC are affiliated to Berkshire RFU.
We aim to benefit other charities during the course of the event - this means organising or taking part in group activities which will be fun for those taking part and beneficial to the selected charities.
The Fat Bloke Sevens, is a unique tournament for those who'd like to play sevens but aren't of the body type or fitness usually associated with the game... this is a FUN tournament and although we structure leagues to cater for all abilities we would remind you that this is not a "serious" 7s tournament.
