Nyenrode7s won the Pier Elite against Susies Saloon which didn’t make it easy for them, with the score at 21-19, it was a close call! They won the tournament for the second time in a row.
Just like last year, the national women of Kazakhstan won the title in the Pier Elite competition of the Jägerbombers Ladies.
In the Vets 10, New Zealand’s HAKA Rugby Global won the Pier Elite from De Samuari Internationals RFC Vets. The winning team was at the tournament for the first time and immediately a big hit and the audience was of course also treated to the HAKA (a ceremonial dance).

Chair Amsterdam 7s
Mariëlle van den Bovenkamp has been president of Amsterdam 7s since 2019: “It was a super cool 50th anniversary of Amsterdam7s! Everything looked great and what an atmosphere, thanks to the many volunteers, without them it wouldn’t have worked so well. As president, I am therefore very proud!
