Yesterday we held our 57th annual seven a side tournament with Murrayfield Wanderers, coached by 5 times PRFC 7’s winner Barry Turnbull, securing their 2nd PRFC 7’s title with a 21-14 win over our own 7xv side.
In a game of 2 halves, Penicuik went into the 2nd half 14-0 up, only to concede the dying minutes to lose 21-14.
Congratulations to Murrayfield Wanderers on a great tournament, deserving of the win.

Big thanks to all our members, players and supporters for coming down and helping to create a fabulous atmosphere.
Seven’s is only a game or rugby, its the supporters that make it a special day out in the PRFC calendar.
