Spartans had an easy day in the office denying the national team a chance at goal. The side has always been a force to reckon with during local 7s tournaments. Over the weekend, it was no different during the Bokomo Botswana 7s tournament held at Gaborone Hogs ground. 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.

Botswana qualified for the championships during the qualifiers held in Lesotho in January.

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