Welcome to the Millfield Rugby Sevens 2017

Millfield is proud of its history. The school has developed rapidly, nowhere more so than on the rugby field. We believe that rugby provides outstanding lessons for life – reliance on team mates, self-discipline, healthy and challenging exercise and respect for others.

Sevens has gained in popularity and we are thrilled to welcome boys, visiting coaches, members of staff and families to the Millfield Sevens Tournament.

We hope the day proves challenging and exciting and that all players and supporters leave knowing that the friendships developed during the day will be reignited in the years to come.

Craig Considine

Headmaster, Millfield

It is a real pleasure to be hosting the Millfield Sevens again this year and I hope you have an exciting and rewarding day. It is events such as this one which can inspire and encourage young children to pursue their talents and dreams. Gareth Edwards OBE, Olly Morgan, Matt Perry, John Brake, Chris Robshaw and many other Old Millfieldians started their careers here on these very pitches. It is wonderful to see how engaged they still are with their old school and how the children are motivated by them and their achievements.

Today we will definitely see some of the stars of the future showing off their skills and aptitude for the sport.

I am sure that all the teams involved will enjoy the competition and show a good sporting spirit both on and off the pitch. My rugby hero Brian O’Driscoll reminds us that “the great thing about playing team sport is that you win and lose together and the pain is never as bad when you share it”.

Whether your side wins or loses, I trust you will have played your best and enjoyed a super day of rugby.

I look forward to seeing you at the event.

With best wishes

Shirley Shayler

Headmistress, Millfield Prep
