The tournament began with the first game of Schoolboy’s 7s with Super Garuda and Black Wolves with a win by Super Garuda.
Shark Finns Blue played Spencer in a match for U14 and it was followed by BAKSO against Shark Finns Black. SPENCER and BAKSO are first time U14 teams to compete and they have been training for 3 months prior.
The matches went smoothly for the U14 and U17 categories, also for Women’s Open, but in Open Men’s 7s between Thunders (Tabanan) against Garudas (Gianyar), the game was halted 2 minutes in due to one of the athletes of Thunders suffering an unfortunate injury and had to be rushed to the hospital. With this incident all parties made the decision that Open Men’s games are postponed it was agreed by all parties that Open Men’s 7s Buleleng will be held at the next tournament of the circuit on May 12, 2018 in Gianyar.
The results of the above matches are as follows:
U14 Mixed Touch
- 1st Winner = Shark Finns Blue (2 – 1)
- Champion 2 = Bakso
- Champion 3 = Shark Finns Black
U17 (Schoolboy 7s)
- 1st Winner = Super Garuda (12 – 10)
- Champion 2 = King
- Champion 3 = Kuta Rock City
Women’s 7s

- Champion 2 = North Women
In this game, scores from each game were very close, and the improvement can be seen. Every game we have seen the level of the game is also more competitive.
Our hope is the circuit will continue in Gianyar which will be held on May 12, 2018, with teams more prepared and a continued higher level of play.
