IMPORTANT POLICE NOTICE
In recent years Licensing laws have been tightened up. Club officials have met this week with the police.
Local police concerns are the need for a sufficient number of stewards to enforce licensing conditions on the
premises. To work with the police club stewards will be readily identifiable by name badges.
One particular worry is that younger club supporters (not being able to purchase at the bar) may try and bring
alcohol onto the premises. The stewards are under instructions that only alcohol purchased on the premises
can be consumed on the premises. Alcohol from other sources must not be brought into the club house.

ISLE OF MULL WEST HIGHLAND AND ISLAND
RUGBY SEVENS TOURNAMENT
Started in 1985 the Isle of Mull Sevens Tournament brings together rugby clubs from all over the West
Highlands and Islands along with guest players. Rugby players from all walks of life and all levels of skill
compete on equal terms of skill and enjoyment.
By doing this we hope to promote rugby in Scotland’s West Highlands and Islands. The very social nature
of rugby and the fact that it is a game for all weathers makes it an ideal sport for our isolated rural areas
where long trips and overnight stays are commonplace. Mull’s geographic position in the centre of this
remote area makes it the perfect setting for a competition of this nature. For these reasons the Sevens
Committee award trophies to the best West Highland team in the tournament. As an added incentive these
trophies are for the winning club to keep. The rules for this competition are on Page 26.
In 1992 the Mull Sevens made rugby history by running a dual tournament for both ladies and men. This
was the first of its kind anywhere in the world!
This makes 2008 the twenty-third anniversary of the Worlds Most Sociable Sevens.

WEST HIGHLAND AND ISLAND TEAMS
WHO HAVE ATTENDED THE ISLE OF MULL SEVENS
ISLE OF MULL RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB
CLUB HISTORY: Mull is the third largest island in the Hebrides, exceeded in area by only Lewis and
Skye. The coast line, broken by sea lochs, bays and inlets, is the amazing length of over 300 miles. On
Sunday 30th July, 1978 the first game of rugby was played and won on Mull! Shortly after, the Isle of Mull
RFC was formed and has thrived under what can only be described as arduous conditions. April 1989 was
the most successful in the history of Mull Rugby Club with three sevens victories. These achievements and
the completion of the Garmony pitches gained the club the honour of being MacEwan’s Club of the Month
in September of 1989. In the spring of 1994 we completed our Clubhouse. In 2002 the club became the first
Glasgow and District island club to be promoted to the Scottish National Leagues.
WOMENS SECTION: Mull women’s teams have won the main tournament once. The women’s rugby
team was officially constituted into the Isle of Mull Rugby Club in 1992.
CLUB PITCH: Garmony.
CLUB HOUSE: Garmony Clubhouse.
ARRAN RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB
CLUB HISTORY: It is often said that Arran is Scotland in miniature - having wild mountains to the north
and a fertile plain to the south. An ideal gathering ground for rugby players. Arran Rugby club was started
in September 1975 and for 10 years the club played only friendly games. In that time the hospitality of these
islanders became legendary with many a visiting team, long overdue when finally returning home! In 1985
the club took a major step and joined the Glasgow District League. By careful timing of kick-offs they are
able to play and return by ferry on the same day. Arran have had a great rugby season this year. We wish
them well for the future and hope they can come to Mull again soon.
NUMBER OF VISITS TO THE MULL SEVENS 10
BENBECULA NOMADS RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB
CLUB HISTORY: North Uist, Benbecula and South Uist have been linked by bridges and causeways to
form a single ‘long island’. Benbecula is separated from its neighbours by stretches of shell sand and quick
sand. On the southern slope of the largest hill Rueval, all of 408 feet high, is the cave in which Prince
Charles Edward Stuart hid while waiting for Flora MacDonald. The Army have a rocket base on Benbecula
and a firing range on South Uist. In 1977 some local lads and schoolboys got together and formed a rugby
team. They have no home for the club; hence the name Benbecula Nomads. The locals found difficulty in
sustaining a team and later combined with the army team. The number of civilians to service players
fluctuated from year to year. Local players come from all three islands.
The team have amazing travel difficulties. In fact on one occasion they left for a game in Edinburgh on
Thursday and due to storms were not able to return until the following Wednesday! This perhaps explains
why they play very, very few games.

BUTE RUGBY CLUB
CLUB HISTORY: With the mountains of Arran to the south and those of Argyll to the north, Bute is a
lowland island in a highland setting. The capital is Rothesay, perhaps the best loved of all the Clyde resorts.
Although closest of all the visiting teams to the main centres of rugby in and around Glasgow the Bute team
is also restricted by a ferry journey across the Firth of Clyde to Wemyss Bay. In fact, players leaving for
Mull do so by the less time consuming Rhubodach - Colintraive ferry. Bute Rugby Club was founded in
1979. They run one occasional social team.
NUMBER OF VISITS TO THE MULL SEVENS 17
ISLAY RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB
CLUB HISTORY: Islay, the southernmost of the inner Hebrides, has a population of 4,000. Each year it
pays the Exchequer the equivalent of £6,000 for each man, women and child on the island! The reason for
such riches is ‘uisge-beatha’ - the water of life! i.e. whisky, which Islay produces in large quantities.
Islay R.F.C. joined the SRU in December 1983. Islay run their own great event, a beach rugby festival, that
normally takes place in the warmer summer months.
NUMBER OF VISITS TO THE MULL SEVENS 9
KINTYRE RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB
CLUB HISTORY: Were it not for a tiny isthmus at Tarbert, Kintyre would be a member of the inner
Hebrides. Principal town is Campbeltown - probably once the capital of the Celtic Kingdom of Dalriada;
the name Campbeltown comes from the early 1600’s when Archibald Campbell was Earl of Argyll.
Kintyre Rugby Club started in 1983 with a meeting at the Ardshiel Hotel, Campbeltown. In 1985 they
joined the Glasgow and District League. After a break the club has reformed. We are very much looking
forwards to Kintyre coming back to the Mull Sevens.
NUMBER OF VISITS TO THE MULL SEVENS 13
LOCHABER RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB
CLUB HISTORY: Travelling north when you cross the Ballachulish Bridge you enter Lochaber truly
Scotland’s grandest landscape. Lochaber is spread at the foot of the Great Glen and at the head of Loch
Linnhe stands Ben Nevis. Between Ben Nevis and Loch Linnhe lies the chief town of Lochaber - Fort
William. Lochaber R.F.C. was officially started in 1969, a good five years after Oban. Her officials point
out, however, that the first team in Fort William was playing ‘way back before the war in 1933 it ran for a
few years and then folded. Lochaber is a strong West Highland team.
NUMBER OF VISITS TO THE MULL SEVENS 17
MID ARGYLL RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB
CLUB HISTORY: In 1977 a few enthusiastic players started a team, based at Lochgilphead and called it
Mid Argyll. Lochgilphead is a town of Victorian and later stone houses, standing on a slope at the top of
Loch Gilp, an inlet off Loch Fyne. The Crinan Canal, which skirts the town, is a never ending source of
enjoyment as boats journey backwards and forwards from the Sound of Jura. Mid Argyll have a great
tournament record being twice winners and runners-up three times and also winning BWH Team Trophy.
Mid Argyll play in the Glasgow District Leagues.
NUMBER OF VISITS TO THE MULL SEVENS 21
OBAN LORN RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB
CLUB HISTORY: By West Highland standards Oban is a large town, essentially where steamers meet road
and railway. From the piers fishing boats are constantly coming and going; ferries for the inner and outer
Hebrides as well as a host of smaller ports leave daily and various supply boats load and unload. During
the summer tourists fill the rows of hotels along the front, attracted by Highland Games, Ceilidhs, Regattas
or the general scenic splendour. Oban Lorn RFC, now in their 31st season, have a showpiece Clubhouse.
Oban are a powerful team and have had a great end to their season.

PORT-RIGH RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB - Ellen a’Cheo
CLUB HISTORY: The name of Port-Righ is the gaelicised form of Portree, which means King’s Harbour
- conferred on the town after the visit of James V’s fleet in 1540. Eilean a’Cheo means island of mist or the
Misty Isle - a bit less of a mouthful than ‘an-t eilean Sgiathanach’ (Isle of Skye). From the sea the clouds
clinging to Skye can be seen long before its craggy peaks; thus the Norsemen called it ‘Skygo’ or Isle of
Clouds. It is a land of mountain and moor. Tourism apart, crofting is the main occupation of its 7,500
population. Port-Righ was founded in January 1987 with the aim of promoting rugby in the island of Skye.
Only a few friendlies were played until the beginning of the 87/88 season when the club applied for and
was accepted, to play in the Highland B League. Port-Righ is on a sabbatical at present.
NUMBER OF VISITS TO THE MULL SEVENS 5
SKYE AND LOCHALSH RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB
CLUB HISTORY: Skye and Lochalsh are one of the few rugby clubs whose name encompasses both island
and mainland players. An island player has to cross by ferry at Kyleakin to play, for it is on the mainland
that the club has its facilities. Kyle of Lochalsh is a bustling little township which has a constant feeling of
coming and going. Skye and Lochalsh was founded in 1975 and initially played only friendlies. The team
now play in the Highland League. Skye and Lochalsh were the first winners of our trophy with a superb
team performance. Who will ever forget the dramatic tie-break situation against Mid Argyll in the final.
NUMBER OF VISITS TO THE MULL SEVENS 5
STORNOWAY RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB
CLUB HISTORY: Stornoway is the metropolis of the Western Isles and the only town of burgh size in the
Hebrides. It is situated towards the north-east of the single island of Lewis and Harris. Though some 25,000
people live on Lewis and Harris the island contains huge barren areas. Stornoway with a good natural
harbour is a fishing port, a market and a centre for the Harris Tweed industry. Tweed manufacturers gave
rise to strong border connections; Mills management often trained at the textile college in Gala. Not
surprisingly this link led to the founding of Stornoway R.F.C. in 1942. The club played for ten years,
stopped for ten years and then revived. Stornoway R.F.C. runs one team based in the town with access to a
council playing field (they lost a previous field to NATO when a runway was extended). They do not play
in a league because of problems with winter ferry timetables but do play in the Brin Cup.
NUMBER OF VISITS TO THE MULL SEVENS 1
COLL
CLUB HISTORY: The Isle of Coll is to the north west of Mull. It is a stunning island with many white
shell-sand beaches down the west coast. Even though the population is very small, Rugby on the island took
a turn for the better when Scotland international player and team captain, Rob Wainwright, moved their in
1999. The Coll team have a very famous history of appearances at the Mull Sevens. They did in fact win
the competition on their first appearance (albeit boosted by several internationalists).
NUMBER OF VISITS TO THE MULL SEVENS 7
MUILEACHS
Names like Jackson, Cameron, Noble,
Carmichael and Swinbanks sent shivers of
fear down the opposition in 1988. When they
re-appeared in 1990 only Carmichael
remained of that first magnificent seven. On
that day, May 12th 1990, the Muileachs had
their finest hour, winning one game and
drawing in another. They were narrowly
pipped for a place in the semi-finals.

Tag Rugby: FINALS KO 10am
The Isle of Mull Rugby Club, through the co-operation of the Island’s Primary School Head
Teachers, Active Schools co-ordinator Babs Whyte and the Scottish Rugby Union, introduced Tag Rugby to all the Mull and Iona primary schools in 2007. The initiative, now in
its second year, involves after schools clubs offering our Mull youngsters the opportunity to
train and play Tag Rugby in a structured environment where the emphasis is on enjoyment
through participation. The clubs currently involve over 80 participants and operate during
the school year.
There are a total of five tournaments, which are hosted in turn by the participating schools
and culminating in the final one this morning. The season started in Dervaig back in
September, where a powerful display by Ian Fuey Nobles Tobermory A squad allowed them
to edge past Salen 10 tries to 9 to secure the seasons first Golden Rugby ball. In round two
again the Tobermoryites were unbeatable this time on home soil however it was Tobermory
B this time taking the honours. In round three hosted by Salen PS at Garmony,
Bunessan/Iona were victorious, however Dervaig/ Ulva Ferry were beginning to show
glimpses of play that would have not looked out of place in Eden Park much to the delight
of Kiwi coach Phil Tiernan.
As the season rolled on and club numbers increased, the clubs were delighted to welcome
onto the coaching staff some new and some well kent faces. In Salen it was Cat and Mouse
as Tom welcomed back his old pal Gerry, in Tob Fuey was joined by injured under 18 star
Gazza MacEwan, and in Dervaig, Mike Story teamed up with Phil hoping that he might
learn the Haka or at least give the Kiwi an insight into how rugby was played by a top Rugby
nation. However it was slightly further down the island, where plans for the emergence of
Mulls new rugby superteam were being developed, in the form of the “Low Level Attack”
masterminded by Babs Whyte and practiced by the Lochdon Dervishes. With the secrecy
of Japans attack on pearl Harbour it was unleashed in round four down in Bunessan, where,
first to feel the ground skimming assault were early season favourites Tobermory, next up
it was Dervaig who had to battle hard for a draw, Bunessan, Golden ball champs from round
three were 5-3 down with a couple of minutes to play and had to pull out all the stops to
scrape through 5-6. However it was Salen who turned up the firepower on the day and
emerge as winners and current league leaders.
The club would like to thank the volunteer coaches who give up their time throughout the
season, and ask supporters to encourage all the Islands youngster during todays tournament.

No news from the team they're up for

to us how we do it and if it all works out and we all get to Garmony on time with

This year Watsonians annual trip to Mull sees a Watsonians team who is as serious about their drinking as they are
about rugby. The fact that most of the team are forwards
is a tactic used to fool the opposition into a false sense of
security – with the unveiling of the “rolling maul” move
being the secret weapon. Thankfully, all tents will have
poles this year. Plus, all forms of lycra have been banned.
Oban were SWRU team of the Year last year and winners of the National Development League this year.
