RAM Stallions successfully took home their Slough Sevens crown this weekend with an entertaining 34-24 win over defending champions Olaf Axes in the final. Both sides has originally cruised through the earlier rounds with ease and continued their form into the semi finals.

Here it was the Olaf Axes who put OJ’s to the sword 42-7, whilst the Stallions saw off the hopes of the Patriots 31-7 with another particular thorough defensive performance, which proved one of the overriding factors for them taking home the Peter Cockford Memorial Challenge trophy.
