Queensland Red have prevented NSW from a clean sweep at the National Sevens Championships this weekend with the Senior Men’s team defeating NSW I 28-7 in the final.

While Queensland’s strength led them to a gold medal win in the Senior Men’s, it was the NSW Youth sides that have taken home the silverware in both the Boys and Girls Championship.

NSW Blue took the gold medal off reigning champions NSW White 12-10 in the Youth Girls Championship while NSW Blue took down QLD White 45-0 in the Youth Boys Championships, the highest winning margin of the day.

Rugby Australia’s Talent Development & Recruitment Manager - Rugby Sevens, Hugh Carpenter said: “Its been a great three days of Sevens here at Ballymore.

“In the Senior Men’s the strength of Queensland’s premier rugby sevens tournament has seen players really come together and perform here at the championships and ultimately take out the national title again this year.

“The strong performances from NSW in the youth provided an excellent contest, they were amazing games, and now we will look at choosing our squad for the upcoming World Schools Sevens in New Zealand.”
