Wooden Spoon : Spoon Rugby : Wooden Spoon Anti Assassins victory at the Stockholm 10's

In view of the large numbers of new clubs, seeding was tricky but worked out in fact rather well as seven of the eight seeded teams made it to the quarter-finals. Multiple former winners Olorun Sharks changed format slightly recruiting a large part of the succesfull Swedish sevens team, changing their name to Olorun Vikings but still retaing a solid core of good English club players. The main threats were expected to come from Wooden Spoon, winners in 2008, last year´s narrowly beaten finalists The Bootleggers and Millfield Old Boys, runners-up in the Amsterdam Sevens this year. The Viking´s progress to the semis was smooth enough, as was that of the Wooden Spoon but the two others joining them were less expected. French outfit Côté Ouvert edged out Millfield 24 - 19, while the home team, Stockholm Exiles, outplayed London Scottish based Kukri Badgers 33 - 17 to send them home earlier than usual.

The two semis were extremely tough affairs where Vikings finally got the better of the Frenchmen, 24 - 12; Wooden Spoon beat Exiles 19 - 0 but spent a considerable amount of time desperately defending.

The final proved to be equally demanding. Olorun Vikings got an early seven-pointer but the Spoons fought back to make it 7 - 5 at the break. Vikings added another seven from far out just after the break but thereafter it was mainly Spoons. It was clear that both teams were on their last legs. A chip through was gathered, however, to make it 14 - 10 and with a couple of minutes to go a clever kick to the corner saw the Spoon´s winger gather to give them the narrowest of wins 15 - 14.

Wooden Spoon, the children's charity of rugby, is proud to announce it's partnership with the largest rugby, netball and music festival in the world, the Bournemouth 7s.
