Sweetest smelling Surf 7s yet?
"Here at Bulldog we're delighted to be supporting the Newquay Surf 7's. Newquay is such a great location, and with 7s becoming bigger and bigger each year, I'm sure the event will be a phenomenal success." [Ben Grace, Marketing Director]
Bulldog, the UK's largest natural skincare brand for men, has generously donated 5 free skincare product sachets for every rugby player in the tournament. The range was created when there were no options available for men who wanted to reduce the number of man-made chemicals in their bathrooms. As a pioneer of natural grooming, all Bulldog products are body friendly and don't contain chemicals such as parabens, sodium laureth sulfate, artificial colors, or synthetic fragrances. Instead all Bulldog products are loaded with essential oils and other amazing natural actives to deliver superb grooming results.

2009 Tournament Round Up
Some of the best sevens rugby teams in Europe played in the Invitational Competition in last year's Tournament.
The British Army team won another great final for the second year running against the Kukri Marauders team from Hampshire.
The strong list of twelve participating teams included the exciting Samurai International team, who won the Manchester Sevens a week earlier.
They are mainly very talented New Zealand players, but with the addition of one South African and one Englishman.
They, with the equally talented Kooga Wailers were the losing semi-finalists in Newquay’s Invitational Competition.
Separate competitions for the Men’s and Women’s Open were also played on Saturday 18th of the tournament.
The Men’s Open Final was a great match between last year’s winners Ronins Impact and the 2009 winners Akuma Smurfs.
Sunday 19th July saw variable weather with showers and wind causing a few testing moments on the five pitches in use. It certainly didn't taint
a great fun day of rugby, as visiting Rugby Clubs from all over the UK competed for the new Newquay Presidents Cup, Bowl and Plate.
The Cup Final was eventually won by a very impressive Harpenden Praetorians from Hertfordshire, when they beat a very good
Huddersfield team from Yorkshire. In the Bowl Competition, Upton 49er’s beat Lufbro Lightning
and the Plate was won by The Templars when they beat the OPM’s.
