This is the start for Cyprus of a long hard and arduous route which could result in the chance to qualify for the World Cup Sevens.
Four Paphos Tigers, Chris Thoma, Kyle Oelofse, Marcus Holden & George Agathocleous have all beeen called into the Cypriot Sevens squad which travels to Athens this weekend to play in the first round pre qualifier.
They will be playing Spain Greece Bosnia and Luxembourg in Pool A and the other teams in Pool B are France Romania Monaco Serbia and Bulgaria.
There is a Bowl, Plate and Cup to play for over this 2 day event, (sponsored by the Hellenic Rugby Federation and the Greek Government) but even more importantly will be the collection of points towards qualification matches further along the road.
Next weekend they will be playing in Split in Croatia and will come up against some even stronger teams such as Italy, France Germany Belgium Croatia Bosnia Serbia Switzerland and Hungary, but if enough match wins can be claimed then they can travel to Germany for play offs for the World Cup Sevens.
Now wouldn't that be something.
Good luck Tigers, Good luck Cyprus and come back with some silverware and those valuable points.
