The 2025 Cleo Malalah 7s tournament is set to kick off at the Bull Ring Grounds as rugby sevens makes its debut at the Cleo Malalah Super Cup.

The introduction of the 7s competition marks a major milestone for the tournament, which has traditionally featured football only.

The move to include rugby comes as part of activities celebrating seven years of the Cleo Malalah Cup, opening up a new platform for clubs from the Western region to compete and showcase their talent.

Action will begin from 10:00 am, with a packed order of play lined up across the day.
