The 2018 Sapper Games and RERL 9s Champions are 39 Engineer Regiment.

The last couple of days have been epic.

The last couple of days have been epic. Firstly the majority of teams travelled over 500 miles to get here and play, secondly the attrition rate was brutal due to the amazing weather and sheer brutality of the collisions (I have never seen or heard of as many 510s) and finally because the ref (Pete Smith) officiated 23 games over 1 and a half days.

The comaradery and RL community spirit between the players and Regiments has been brilliant (I think Sonoma Veikune played for 4 Regiments) and the lads of 39 did a great job setting up for and running the competition.

Well done to everyone for playing, well done to Pete Smith, well done to all the support staff and congratulations to the Eagles on being this year's Champions.
