Blues 7s Season Recap
The Blues 2010 Sevens season started out with a lot of promise, hit some bumps along the way, and ended with heartbreak in Denver on July 24th as the Blues again came up just short of a Nationals bid at the final West Qualifier.
Coming into the final event, the Blues sat in 3rd place in the West RFU standings but needed to finish ahead of Aspen to earn the West's 3rd bid to Nationals. Aspen went on to take 2nd Place and secure qualification, while the Blues settled for 5th place in Denver and 4th in the overall standings.
