The annual tournament will take place on Saturday, February 28 and will again be held at the Longreach Showgrounds, with visiting clubs invited to register now to take part in the fun events.

With $10,000 prize money to be won, the Longreach 7s tournament is set to be popular event with an Open Men’s and Open’s Women’s division being offered.
The women's games proved a successful addition to the carnival this year, with many punters talking more about their match than the men's games at the end of the day.
Each team will play three pool games before the semi-final and finals matches.
To be accepted into the carnival, the $300 nomination fee and Team Nomination Form must be lodged by 5pm on February 13, 2015.
