Men's Clubs

The host side nearly wrote the storybook ending at the Hotlanta 7s on Saturday, July 25. Atlanta Old White went four for four through the men's competitive round robin, including a 26-17 win over Apex. Finals are cruel like that: Apex adjusted and closed it 21-10 for the title.

The men's social bracket ran fourteen sides deep across four pools. Clamdigger Selects beat The Fast and The Fragile 21-14 in the final, with Lanier 7s and the Atlanta Renegades falling in the semis. Macon Love, the Peglegs, and sides from six states beyond Georgia all put boots on the grass, which is what an end-of-summer sevens day is for.

Fifteens is next. Athens Rugby starts XVs training Sunday, August 2 at Southeast Clarke Park, the Gwinnett Lions restart fifteens training Thursday, July 30 at Tribble Mills Park in Lawrenceville, and the Ernie Silva Cup kicks off in Augusta on Saturday, August 29. Summer ends when the calendar says it does, and the calendar is starting to say it.
