Up Next For the Blues: The Blues will carry a 15-0 record this summer into the Harlequin Cup in Dallas, the first of three National Qualifiers for 7s teams in the West Union.

The three West teams with the highest combined finish at the tournaments will advance to Nationals in San Francisco on August 14th.

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.
