News from National Sevens...

No titles this year for Herts sides at the National Sevens, but our girls came closer than ever before...

In the U14s our sole county representatives and Herts Sevens champions Welwyn stormed through all the group phases, and in the final met London & SE Champions "Cramberleigh" (Camberley & Cranleigh combined). Many of the girls had met before in the Regional Championship final at Rugby - and unfortunately it was the same story again with Welwyn going down 25-0.

In the U17s we had three teams:
  • Fullerians performed best, only losing out to eventual champions Basildon in a tight cup semi-final.
  • Letchworth also lost to Basildon, but recorded their first ever win at the National Sevens against Andover, and thereby reached the Plate semi-finals where they fell to Wimborne.
  • Welwyn found themselves in tough group, losing to Darlington and Petersfield. However, they picked themselves up and made it through to the "Best of the Rest" final.
