Newcastle finally claim Middlesex 7s crown

 
 

Saturday 18th August 2007

Newcastle Falcons 20
Worcester Warriors 19

Despite the rain, the crowd were treated to a thrilling final at Twickenham today which saw Newcastle Falcons lift the Middlesex 7s trophy.  Losing finalists in 2001 and 2003, Newcastle, led by England 7s stalwart Ollie Phillips, beat Worcester in a close encounter.

Worcester had never reached the final and were skippered by experienced sevens player Pat Sanderson.  Despite a late comeback with a try by Marcel Garvey, the trophy belonged to the Falcons.

It was a day of upsets with last year's champions London Wasps going out in the first round. 

Tries by Phillips, Batty and two from Visser secured the victory for the Falcons.  Warriors tries were scored by Powell, Benjamin and Garvey with two successful conversions by Drahm.

Ends.
