Army warms up for Sevens Defence Cup 16.05.12
6The Army Sevens Championships are taking place in Aldershot. The sport has long been a firm Forces favourite. The games are fast and furious and produce plenty of excitement.
It is a sport that is going places. Not only is it an established event in the Commonwealth Games, but in four years time in Rio, Rugby Sevens will make its debut at the Olympics.
The military have a fine tradition of producing servicemen who play the highest level. Army star Isoa Damudamu has been part of the England set up for a number of years.
The highlight of the army sevens season will be the International Defence Forces Rugby Sevens World Cup due to take place in America later this year.
Closer to home and this year's Army Sevens Championship is wide open with 16 teams battling it out for honours including the B A G Champions, The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards and last year's winners 17 Port and Maritime Regiment.
