Seven 2003 Tradition has it, for there are no authoritative documents of the period extant today, that in 1883 Melrose Football Club was casting around for ideas to help the Club's finances when the suggestion of a football tournament was put forward by the now legendary 'NED' HAIG. Rugby Seven’sNed Haig was born in Jedburgh on 7th December, 1858, and came to Melrose as a youth. At first he was not particularly attracted to the game of Rugby but after participation in Fastern's E'en Ba he developed an interest and taste for the sport. Haig first played for the Club in 1880 in the second team with an occasional sortie in the Firsts, the first of these being against Earlston at the Annual Hiring Fair there. One year later he was a regular member of the First team and also made appearances for the South. When Haig's playing days came to an end he continued to take an active part in The Club and served for several seasons on the General and Match Committee. Ned Haig had a long life and died on 28th March, 1939, just shortly before the by now popular Melrose Sports at The Greenyards; the very event that he was instrumental in initiating. In an article "An old Melrose Player's Recollections", written
most probably in 1907/1908, Haig says: "Want of money made us rack
our brains as to what was to be done to keep the Club from going to
the wall, and the idea struck me that a football tournament might prove
attractive but as it was hopeless to think of having several games in
one afternoon with fifteen players on each side, the teams were reduced
to seven men." The Seven Kings of Rome is a SUPERCLUB set up in 1995 with the aim of bringing together the best Rugby Seven specialists to take part in and organise tournaments at the highest levels. Our first participation was in the Heineken Amsterdam Rugby Seven event in 1995. As division leader n. 60 (of the 60 participating teams) we won the eliminatory round, the second round and only gave in at the quarter finals against the White Hart Maranders, a team which had Dallaglio, Charvet and another 5 British international players. The incumbent team (Saetti, Montalto, Parladori, Bernardi, Caranci, Barba e Salvati) had four Italian players out of seven. On our return to Rome we competed in the tournament organised by the CUS Roma Rugby which we won and we continued to take part in this in successive years as it went on to become the highest expression of Italian tournaments.
