Fans of Rugby Sevens flocked to East Grinstead at the weekend to support their teams in a tournament.

It was the 60th anniversary of the Sunshine Sevens at East Grinstead RFC which saw ladies, community clubs, elite men and junior teams compete over two days.

Not only is the Sunshine Sevens an RFU qualifying event, it is also the longest running Charity Rugby Sevens Tournament in the UK, this year raising funds for Step by Step School for Autism, Special Families East Grinstead and Wooden Spoon.

Susy Radio’s Natalie Osborne went along to the tournament and had a chat with England Sevens Captain and winner of an Olympic Silver Medal with Team GB in Rio, Tom Mitchel:
