Seven's results

Not exactly what we wanted for the end of the season, but the day stayed dry and the rugby was of the highest quality.

We were drawn in smaller pool (one team short) and played Letchworth first and then Tynedale. We won both matches with some big scores and went into the quarter finals where we played our old rivals Burfield. A win there and we were into the semi final stages.

We were drawn against Exeter Saracens who we had never played before. They put 4 tries on us! Fair play, they were a quality team and played some superb 7s rugby. They had some great players and we struggled to keep up with them. They went on to contest the final against Wimbourne and our season finished on a lower note.

Having said that, we won a chunk of silverware this year. Cup winners, 10s winners and regional champions is a record second to none and Rich, Keith, Pete and I are justifiably proud of the team we have coached and seen growing in stature over the last two years. It's been a privilege and a pleasure to be involved in such a team.

West Midlands are regional champions

Congratulations are due to the West Midlands regional squad who had a great day on Sunday. Winning both pool matches (29-0 and 17-0) put them into the cup rounds.

A win against a tough East region side 5-0 put them into the final. A controversial match followed but the West Mids were victorious with a 7-0 score. The coaches handled their squads well and everyone played their part even though some were unable to play in the final. No matter, the squad performance got us to the final and helped us win.

Worcester regional players:

Siobhan Adams
Leanne Cook
Coral Hinton
Ale Lewis
Sarah Mimnagh
Kim Morris
Jade Newman
Anna Norris
Beth O'Brien
Katie Pittaway
Eliza Slinn
Lydia Thompson
Stacey Tolley
Rhiannon Watkins
Sophie Watkiss

Well done all.
