Welcome

Welcome to the FIRST LEG of the Sussex 7s Series. Whether you're a regular fan at Uckfield RFC or a first-time spectator, we hope you have a great day with us.

Home to rulers, conquerors, revolutionaries, and modern-day innovators, Sussex has seen many great pioneers and disruptors pass through its historic lands. In this great tradition, we bring you the Sussex 7s Series – an annual competition where teams from across the county compete in a multi-event league, accumulating points each round, to be crowned the best rugby 7s team at the Grand Final.

Launched in 2024, this is only the SECOND YEAR of the Series, and we are rapidly growing. We started last year with only 4 squads, and with more than 20 teams signed up to play one, two, or three of the legs in 2025 there is a lot to be excited about.

There are three parts (or “Legs”) of the Sussex 7s Series in 2025, and each one is a mini-tournament where teams can gain points to become the overall Series winner. ONLY THE TEAMS playing today qualify to win the Series overall in their chosen category, which means every try, tackle, conversion, and even the yellow cards (!) count towards their chances of being champions.

Today’s event is FREE TO WATCH so please support the growth of the Sussex 7s Series by buying a T-Shirt at event control or online from the official website, and by purchasing food and drink from the rugby club or one of our guest traders.

We want to thank our sponsors and partners for their support, please make sure you say hello to them as well as supporting your chosen team.

On behalf of the Sussex 7s Series, whether playing, watching, or just here for the vibe, we hope you have a great day!

Ben McNamara, Sussex 7s Series Director
