\u201cThis year the first team walked away as winners of the Bailey Cup and the senior sevens team also won the plate final at the Lions Sevens Tournament, after beating the Pirates Rugby Club in the final,\u201d said club president Rene Audier<\/p>

Audier thanked everyone who contributed to the club\u2019s success this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s heart-warming to see the passion for the club on and off the field,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
