Port Douglas rugby tournament on the rise
By The Newsport Daily
Organisers are anticipating a record crowd ahead of the annual Port Douglas Rugby Sevens tournament this Saturday.
More than 150 players representing nineteen teams will take the field with $5000 awarded to the winning senior men's team.
Now in its fourth year, organiser Adam Calcraft says the tournament's reputation continues to grow.
"We started off with just eight teams at our first tournament," he says.
"This year, most of the sides have contacted us to play in it which is a good sign."
The carnival will also feature defending champions, the Tabubil Cats direct from Papua New Guinea. Mr Calcraft says the Cats will be hard to beat again this year.
