Te Puna are one of the top teams in Saturday's Bay of Plenty Club sevens.
The summer of sevens continues on Saturday with the Bay of Plenty Club sevens tournament held at Eastern Districts RFC in Paengaroa.
The tournament is open to all the senior rugby clubs within the Bay of Plenty for both men's and women's teams. It has attracted clubs from all over
the Bay of Plenty as this year sees a record number of team entries, with the men's grade filling up completely with 16 teams.
The men's Tight 5 entries have doubled and there is now a new colts grade.
The men's division will play for the Gordon Tietjens Trophy, named after the current NZ Sevens coach and former Bay of Plenty representative. Mount Maunganui are defending champs.
The women's division will play for the Exia Edwards Trophy. Edwards represented the NZ Black Ferns and has been an important person in rebuilding women's rugby in the Bay of Plenty.
