Bishops win Villager Sevens
Reddam win first
Not surprisingly Bishops won the popular Villager Sevens. What was surprising is that Reddam won the plate.
Bishops have now won the trophy 18 times but for Reddam College, the new private school down Tokai way, it was a first-ever victory.
On one occasion Bishops B won the trophy and it looked possible again this year when the knocked out Rondebosch A and SACS A but their own A team eventually knocked them out.
