There were some fierce battles to gain one of the coveted spots in the Grand Finals scheduled for Saturday 26^th March ahead of Harlequins V Gloucester. With some excellent rugby skills on show we saw a number of clubs go through including newcomers this season Richmond FC.

Other successful qualifiers Edenbridge RFC Under 7's coach, Steve Dick, commented afterwards:

"Many, many thanks to the team of referee's and everyone behind the scenes who made the event such a success yesterday. It was a joy for my whole family to be part of and great to see so many other proud grandparents supporting. We look forward to returning in a few weeks.

On a personal note it's fantastic for Edenbridge to make its mark at the U7's level by winning our group and reaching the Grand Finals. It can be done!!"
