Three cheers for everyone that participated in this year's tourney. It was another day in Memphis Rugby that would've
made The King proud!
After making their debut 4 years ago at the Elvis 7s, The Kenya Exiles finally took home the Champions Trophy after a
convincing victory over Elvis at the Opry, 17-5. It was the third time in four years that these two teams met in the finals,
and once again put on a dazzling display of rugby. We hope to see both of these teams back next year.
Congrats to Tulsa R.F.C. for claiming the Consolation Trophy after back-to-back sudden death wins in the semi-final
and final game of the consolation bracket. Now that they've experienced what Elvis 7s is all about, I'm guessing they'll
be back. Same goes for other first time participants, The Hot Rod Lincolns all the way from San Antonio, TX., and the
Southern Miss Golden Eagles from, well, Southern Miss.
Jason Mapp of the S.L.U.T.S. rugby team once again drew the largest applause in the Sideburns Contest after he and
Chris Claude of the Memphis Blues went to a "Chop Off" to determine the winner.
Thanks to Larry "Elvitz" Magdovitz for donning his moose knuckle inducing, blue jump suit and doing his impersonation
of Meatloaf impersonating of Elvis while presiding over the Trivia Contest. The grand prize went to Chris "Woody"
Woodard of Tulsa.
David Minkin, a professional sports photographer, was on hand to capture the event and will be posting all the pics very
soon.

Not sure when the pics will be posted, but if you were there Saturday, chances are you'll be in a pic or two which you
don't want to miss the chance to purchase. These are some of the best rugby pics you'll ever see. And certainly better
than any of the ones taken from a friend or teammate with a 2 megapixel camera while trying to hold their beer in
the other hand.
In the mean time, you can still go to focus.photoreflect.com to view and purchase pics that he took at the 2004, 2005,
and 2006 tournaments. The tournament was also covered by the local paper. Check out the following link for the story
and pics...
