TN 7S- MENS OPEN RESULTS: POSSUMS TAKE TITLE

mcnab — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 03:11:23 +0000

The 2010 version of TN 7s wrapped up Saturday, July 10th with a championship win by the home team. The Possums held on to beat last year’s champ Nashville in the final match. It has been a while since the trophy was won by the hosting club. Chattanooga fought its way through the Bowl division to beat the TICS in a close one. The tournament sold out 1 week prior and the morning opened up with a 2-game round robin play which seeded teams into the afternoon tournament. The day was rather warm but cold watermellon, beer, and a homemade water slide helped to control the attrition. The results are posted below long with video and pictures provided by Tony Marable.

Group A: Nashville Gold, Knoxville, Johnson City, Spartans
