Women add Kiama 7s to trophy cabinet

Sydney University Women’s Rugby team are the Kiama 7s Tournament champions after an undefeated run at the weekend.

Sydney University defeated a host of strong representative sides, including NSW Country, ACT and Sydney rivals Warringah on their way to the title.

Roisin McNulty,  Alex Hargreaves and Iliseva Batibasaga scored tries in their 19-12 win over ACT in the final.

Wallaroo recruit Batibasaga was a standout on the day, scoring six tries, while Alex Hargreaves scored five.
