Rugby fans will have the opportunity to overdose on some fast-paced action this Saturday, Oct. 22, 2011, as the Mountain 7s Tournament comes to Infinity Park. This tournament is a conference qualifier for the USA Rugby Collegiate National Championships to be held Dec. 16-17, 2011.

Rugby 7s is known for its fast and furious pace and is played by seven-a-side teams with each half being seven minutes long and a new game starting every twenty minutes. The tournament will take place throughout the day with the first game kicking off at 9 a.m. The championship final will be played at 8 p.m.

Of equal attraction on Saturday will be two Raptor rugby duels between archrivals. First on the agenda will be the Raptors U19 girls who will be taking on the Prairie View Thunderhawks in the Infinity Park stadium at 10:30 a.m. This will be the second match between the two teams this season. Raptors U19 girls won the first battle 47-25.

The second matchup on the agenda will be the Raptors DII Men's team taking on the Denver Harlequins. There is no love lost between these two teams; the result from their last encounter earlier this season was a draw. From all accounts, it is almost a certainty that the players will be putting body and soul on the line to walk away the victors. It promises to be a great game and definitely not one to be missed. Kickoff is at 6 p.m. in the Infinity Park stadium.

In the event you are a novice rugby fan, would like to know more about the game or may just want to brush up on your rugby knowledge, the Raptors Women's team will be doing a practice session in the Infinity Park stadium at 3:30 p.m. They will be utilizing microphones while they train and will be giving commentary explaining what they are doing.

For any aspiring young rugby players who would like to pursue a college rugby career, USA Rugby will be hosting a college rugby recruiting event in the stadium between 3:30 and 4:30 p.m. This will be a great opportunity to gather information and learn more about college rugby programs.

There will be something for everybody on Saturday and it promises to be a great day of entertainment, action and rugby!
