Tournaments

24 May 1998

Aberdonian Julie Taylor was in the Edinburgh Accies side which completed a hat-trick of victories in the Scottish Women’s Rugby Union national sevens at Aberdeen’s Balgownie playing fields yesterday. The international prop was one of five Accies players in the Scotland team which lost the World Cup plate final to Australia in Amsterdam earlier this month. With fellow Scotland players Janyne Afseth, Mags McHardy, Sarah Higgins and Claire Herriot in the side, Accies proved too strong for Aberdeen University in the semi-finals and overwhelmed Lismore 57-0 in the final. It was consolation for losing their 15-a–side crown. The Division I National League title was wrestled from them by Murrayfield Wanderers. Aileen Galvin, who was in the Accies starting line-up for the final, said: “We were quite surprised it was so one-sided, because Lismore have beaten us in sevens before. They are usually a very strong sevens side, but they didn’t seem to have it today. There wasn’t huge turnout, probably because the competition was delayed due to the World Cup, which ran for almost three weeks, finishing last weekend. A lot of clubs have already finished up for the season.” Aberdeen Select, a fun team made up of Aberdeen University and Aberdeenshire players made a splash in the plate competition by reaching the final.

Final:
