Dubai 7s 2015 Schedule For Players & Supporters
The Dubai 7’s is by far the greatest weekend of Rugby our great sport produces each year. Dubai is unique with so many numbers of players from all levels of rugby coming together to play the sport we all love.
I was lucky enough to play a number of times for our great club in both our Arabian Potbelly colours and also those of the mighty Sharks. There are very few rugby experiences that will surpass being able to represent our club at the Dubai 7’s.
I hope that you, both old and new members, take the time to truly experience wearing the Shark shirt with pride this weekend. This weekend we have 7 Local UAE teams and one international team representing the club. Our teams do play under differing names, APB Sharks, Dubai Sharks, Dubai Frogs, Shark –Wasps and the Bali Legends, but we all represent one great Club the DUBAI SHARKS.
Below are a few of the import dates and timings for this week so that you get your playing kit.
