Business rugby sevens returned to Edinburgh as teams from across the city gathered for the second instalment of the mixed corporate Touch event geared to helping charitable causes. 

A total of 56 matches occurred producing 55 tries with Thorntons Law securing the team silverware.

Isla Mitchell from Evelyn Partners Team 2 earned the well-deserved title of Female Player of the Tournament. In the final match, David Perdikou, from Thorntons Law, showcased an outstanding performance, earning him the prestigious Player of the Match award selected by ambassador Chris Dean, the former Edinburgh professional. 

Top try scorer overall was David Taylor from Evelyn Partners Team 2 with six.

Thorntons Law’s victory in the Elite League showcased not only their rugby prowess but also their commitment to the FourSquare charity cause, the win earning a £170 donation from the Business Sevens Charity Pot.  

The Elite league final was a thrilling encounter, with Evelyn Partners Team 2 narrowly missing out on the title. In the Shield league, Murray Beith Murray secured victory and a £50 donation for My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, furthering the support of MND research in the name of former Scotland player Doddie Weir and aiming to assist those whose lives are impacted by it.
