At the recently-concluded FLOW Rugby Barbados World 7s which was held in Barbados on the 8th to the 12th December 2016 the organizers of the event were able to attract fifteen (15) rugby teams, some of these teams hailed from within the Caribbean region and some from outside the region. The year 2016 saw most participating teams ever in the history of Caribbean 7s tournaments.
With regards to the competitive aspect of the games on the men’s side of the competition, in a riveting battle on pitch, one that left spectators on the edge of their seats, Xhosa Southern Select of Trinidad and Tobago whose sponsor was Amalgamated Security Services walked away with the second prize winning the overall silver medal of the competition in addition to other special prizes.
Many express their satisfaction with the standard of rugby played this year, which was extremely high. Organizers and sponsors of the event were exceptionally pleased and believe that they have made positive in roads that can only be beneficial to everyone involved inclusive of the players, organizers and sponsors. Plans are already under way to increase the number of competing teams substantially next year.
