RUGBY 7s HEADS TO AQABA
Oct 13, 2016
Aqaba is hosting the second round of the Jordan Rugby 7's series on Friday at the Prince Hamzeh Stadium, with the event running from 1-6pm.
After week one last weekend in Amman, the Nomad Blacks won all four of their matches to top the table with 22 points, three clear of the Citadel Nights in second and five clear of third placed Amman Saracens.
This weekend’s hosts Aqaba Sharks will hope to make home advantage count to move off the bottom after four defeats on weekend one.
It will be an historic moment for Aqaba with the league playing its first matches there as part of the "Get In To Rugby" programme which is promoting the game across the Kingdom.
Under the presidency of HRH Prince Mirad Bin Raed, the Jordan Rugby Committee is working hard to expand the sport’s reach and is succeeding in attracting more players and teams to the sport.
