7 Para RHA win Army RL Naivalurua 9s
In the well attended Army RL Naivalurua Cup 9s competition at Aldershot yesterday, 10 Jun 15, 7 Para RHA beat 1 LANCS in the final to win the Cup.
From Maj Richard Naivalurua:
Cracking day of Rugby in the 2015 Army Rugby League Naivalurua 9s Cup in Aldershot today, where over 200 soldiers took the field.
The Perham Down Sappers of 22/26 Engr won the Bowl competition beating 1 Signal Regt who had travelled over from Herford in Germany.
47 Regt RA won the Shield beating the Spartans (Medics) in golden point extra time after being drawn at full time.
21 Engr Regt from Ripon beat 27 Regt RLC in the Plate Competition.
A superb Final between 7 Para RHA and 1 LANCS saw 7 score in the last seconds of a brutal game winning 4 tries to 3. 1 LANCS had won an epic Semi Final in a War of the Roses, beating the current Cup holders 1 YORKS by 5 tries to 4. 7 Para RHA had beaten the Para Regt in the other semi final after qualifying for the Cup as best runner up having been beaten by the Paras in the Group stages.
Hope to have even more teams at the Army Rugby League Yeoman (Inter-Unit) Cup 13s on Wed 1 July 15, again in Aldershot.
Yours in Rugby, Nav.
