International players were on display at the Days Garages' sponsored Warlingham Rugby Club's "Sevens Heaven" Tournament in Hamsey Green on Saturday, not only did the Iceland National side compete but international players from Lithuania and Nigeria played for invitation sides at the event.

Fifteen teams competed for the Tim Osborne Cup and in the Group stages were dominated by Warlingham Wizards, Saxons, Olaf's Axes and Voyagers with Old Midwives improving with each game. In the semi final of the Plate competition Voyagers and Beckenham overcame Cow Tipping Penguins and a gallant Old Midwives side respectively. The Plate Final was a closely fought battle but Beckenham ran out of steam in the latter stages and were beaten 42 - 15.

The semi-final of the main event saw Wizards face Saxons in a re-run of the Old Caterham Sevens Tournament final two weeks
before when Warlingham came out on top. Saxons looked to be getting revenge but Warlingham came back to win by five tries to four. In the other semi-final Olaf's Axes, including several Nigerian national players, destroyed a very good Soy Galacticos seven
by 47 - 7.

The Cup Final was a closely fought physical battle with the huge vocal crowd giving the home side some advantage but The Axes countered at every opportunity and nerves were on edge. Man of the Tournament, Wizards' centre Ben Wimble, scored two tries
with the ubiquitous Tom Street and Joe McEvoy also getting on the score sheet, Warlingham came out worthy winners by twenty points to twelve.

A weary Wizards captain, Jon Osborne said, "There was some really strong sides out there today and we had to dig deep to keep our noses in front in the knock out stages." Mrs Yvonne Osborne, presented the trophies, and there was a very special poignant moment when she handed the Tim Osborne Cup, in memory of her late husband, to their son, Captain Wizard - Jon Osborne.
