Matthew New Memorial 7s

Matthew New Memorial 7s  (Braintree 7s) returns on 5th August 2023!

Matthew New Memorial 7s has been running since 2010 and is probably the biggest sevens in Essex. Named in memory of an ex-player at the club, who passed before his time.

The team at the sevens try to bring Matthew’s joy for life back for one day each year so that everyone can enjoy a fantastic day of sevens in his memory. Each year the event has grown and with a large tent and live music now all part of the party.

Look out for the South African inspired braai if you are looking to get your protein fix, you will often find Ruan Holt somewhere nearby who is the true pied piper of this event. My final tip is to look out for the Low Fat Milk guys, they are a regular at this event and are almost as entertaining on the pitch as they are off it.
