Bermuda Rugby’s Women’s National Contact 7s team, known as the Dark & Stormies, is set to compete in the highly anticipated New York Rugby 7s Tournament this weekend, from November 29th to December 1st.
This one-day competition, held in the heart of New York City, will feature 16 teams battling for supremacy in their division, promising a showcase of intense action and skill.
