The tournament was the first of a three part series that Botswana Rugby Union (BRU) has planned for April. The tournaments are meant to sharpen the 7s national team ahead of the Africa Rugby 7s championships slated for Uganda.

Meanwhile, Spartans won all their matches beating Gaborone Hogs and BDF Cheetahs to reach the final.
