A spokesman for the event, sponsored by Kettle Produce, said it had been another sevens to remember.

“The annual Howe Sevens are one of the key events in the club’s calendar,” they said.

“This year was the first year we could host the entire event at Duffus Park by utilising the facilities in our new state of the art clubhouse which opened in late 2016.”
