Cooks and Les Pandettes, with three wins and a draw a piece, forming the Trophy pool for Day 2. The Malta Pirates and the two Valkyrie teams played for the Cup. The day was filled with high intensity rugby, a byproduct of the short match- es in 7s competitions, with all teams firing at the try lines producing intense score lines. Day 2 was no different, with two separate pieces of silver- ware up for grabs, everyone had something to play for and it showed in the passion on the pitch. Though it was clear that the Crazy Cooks were not content with finish- ing second on day one, as they went on to dominate in their Trophy pool matches with a confident win (24-0) against Les Pandettes, and whilst the Malta Barbarians also had the trophy in their sites after beating the French ladies (20- 7) it was the Cooks who went into the final match as the fa- vorites. The final trophy match was not an easy one for the two passionate teams, but in the end the Crazy Cooks would out maneuver the Malta Bar- barians to walk away with the win (5-24) and the Trophy. The Cup Pool was clearly a better venue for the Malta Pi- rates who walked away with the Cup after victories against both Valkyrie teams, who only managed a draw in their own match. Tournaments like this of- fer a great opportunity for lo- cal players to test their metal against a variety of opposition. This chance was not missed by National Women's Coach, Carmelo Longo, who used the tournament to test out various players with National Team aspirations, particularly play- ers like Donevellon Sladden, Dorien Jager and Marion Azz- opardi, who stood out on the pitch for the Barbarians. Special mention must also be given to Katka Vrbacka and Charlotte Sultana Evans, who aside from being commend- able players for the Pirates, were also the ones to bring together and coach the players that formed the second Malta Team. With 7s being the Olympic standard for Rugby, the MRFU will be doubling its efforts on 7s Rugby development in the future. This will not only ex- pand the opportunities for dif- ferent people to discover and enjoy Rugby, but also provide new avenues for success on the international stage to mir- ror the success of our national 15s team.
