#WeAreMaroon
What's on?
Maroon'd is more than a rugby festival. We aim to get the community together to enjoy a taste of exactly
what the Scottish Borders community can offer. At the fore-front of our day is our Senior Rugby tournament,
which is Round 2 of the 2024/25 Kings of the 7s Series.
​
We also have our Mini's (P3 - P7), Semi-Junior (U16 & U18) and Girls Rugby tournaments.
These run throughout the day with rugby related activities running from 9am, right through to 7:30pm
where the event culminates with our Senior 7s FINAL!
Hospitality
More information on Hospitality is coming soon....
Food & Drink
At Maroon'd we offer the very best of borders rugby and musical entertainment, so why should the food and drink on offer differ from this! We're delighted to have so many fantastic local food vendors with us on the day, as well as some from further afield!
​
We have numerous bars located around the Maroon'd@Gala venue. This year the token system has been removed and cashless is strongly advised as it allows us to keeps queues moving quickly - we will have cash only and card only queues at each bar. Upon entry you will be given a colour coded wristband which is crucial, without a wristband you may not be served. Our bar staff and food vendors reserve the right to refuse sale to anyone without a wristband.
The Rugby
Maroon'd is filled with some of the very best of Borders Rugby, from tournaments for our Mini's right through to our Senior Tournament!
​
New for this year will see S2 & S3 play on the Friday Night where they will play other local high-schools in a 7s tournament. We will have food vendors open, and the Friday night is free entry!

​
As we move into the afternoon its the turn of the Junior teams to take control. Our 'Gala Red Triangle Tournament' hosts the Borders U16s 7s, with our 'Gala Wanderer's Tournament' opening the floor to Borders U18s 7s. These tournaments are ran alongside our 'Vixens Tournaments' which see's Girls Rugby played from ages S1 right through to S4. The finals for these tournaments are all played on the Netherdale Main Pitch giving the younger generation a taste of the formidable main-pitch atmosphere!
​
Our Senior 7s Tournament will be part of the borders '24/25 Kings of the 7s' series meaning that valuable K7s points will be up for grabs.
