CANADIAN RUGBY 7S U18 CHAMPIONSHIP RECAP

In the men’s division, British Columbia and defending champions, Ontario 1 booked their spots in the final after convincing wins in both the quarter and semifinals.

In the women’s division, Ontario 1 matched their male counterparts to also reach the final after a tough win against British Columbia. They will be met by an impressive Alberta side, which cruised into the final with a comfortable victory against Ontario 2.

The bronze medals were won by Alberta’s men and British Columbia’s women respectively. Both teams closing out the tournament on a high.

The trophy (5th place) final was one for the books as the Saskatchewan men produced a magical performance to defeat a highly motivated Manitoba team in front of a very vocal set of travelling supporters. The Saskatchewan women could however not complete the trophy double as Quebec proved too strong for their counterparts on the day.

Under-18 Canadian 7s Championship Final

The Women’s Under-18 Canadian 7s Championship Final ended in dramatic fashion as Ontario came from behind to defeat Alberta 22-21.

Alberta looked like they had sealed the victory after scoring three tries but it wasn’t enough as Ontario stole the win at the death with a late try in the right corner to break Alberta’s hearts.

Ontario completed a double victory at the U18 7s National Championship as their Men’s team defeated favourites, British Columbia 29-10 in the final.

Ontario were just too good for their opponents on the day as they outclassed BC with five tries to two.
