Rootin’ Tootin’ Fun at Exeter 7s
Saddle up for a rootin’ tootin’ day of fun when Sandy Park hosts the Mitsubishi Motors Exeter 7s this summer.
Fans are invited to wear their best Wild West outfits and give the players a traditional Chiefs welcome, with a twist.
Exeter’s posse will be headed up by Chiefs head of commercial John (Toy Story) Woody Wood and his glamorous assistant Christine (The Kid) Bentos Bentley.
The event takes place at Sandy Park on the weekend of 9th/10th July 2016 with Saturday being designated Wild West Day! Doors open at 10am.
Woody urged fans to make it an event to remember.
He said: “Chiefs supporters are renowned for their passion, their sense of fun and for throwing themselves into the games we host.
“We want guys, gals and (friendly) gangs to turn Sandy Park into Dodge City for the day.
“Sevens events around the world have gained a reputation for creating a carnival atmosphere and we want to do the Westcountry proud.
“There will be competitions and prizes for the best outfits and having a great time will be the order of the weekend.”
Mitsubishi Motors will become the official partner of England Rugby from the start of the 2016/17 season and will also sponsor the Exeter leg of the European Grand Prix Sevens.
For 2016 only, England and Wales will be replaced by two teams from Great Britain who will use the Series as part of their final preparations for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
Commenting on the partnership, RFU Chief Executive, Ian Ritchie, said: “We are thrilled to confirm Mitsubishi Motors as an Official Partner of the RFU.
“As a globally recognised brand with strong heritage in innovation and high quality performance, Mitsubishi Motors is a great fit for the RFU.
“We look forward to the exciting initiatives that we will work on together throughout the partnership.”
Lance Bradley, Managing Director, Mitsubishi Motors UK, added: “Mitsubishi Motors is delighted to become an Official Partner for the Rugby Football Union from September 2016, supporting the England Under-18s, the Under-20s squad and the Mitsubishi Motors Exeter Sevens.
“It’s not only great news for us, but for our dealer network, our customers, and all rugby followers. The ethos and values of the game align perfectly with our own and the partnership announcement comes as a natural development of the work we are doing, and have already done to support some of the UK’s leading rugby clubs and players.”
