The Lions Sevens team got off to a rocky Thursday morning losing to the Spanish National Team (they regularly beat the USA) 31-5. The Spanish Team had spent the previous 3 months training together and were very fit and fast.
In the afternoon the Lions bounced back against Bermuda beating them 33-0.
Friday morning the Lions finished their pool by playing Peru, beating them 38-0. With Spain winning all their games the Lions finished 2nd in the pool and advanced to the Cup competition. The Lions drew Chile in the Quarterfinals. Chile proved to be a very physical side. The Lions were on the back foot for much of the game and lost 24-7. Losing the Quarterfinal meant the Lions were now playing for the Plate (5th Place). Friday afternoon they Played Romania in another tough physical encounter and were again bested. I’m sorry, I don’t know what the score was.
This is the first time that the Lions Sevens Team has played against national teams. It was great experience to play against teams of this caliber after completely dominating the domestic competition in Las Vegas last year.
The Lions Sevens Team would like to thank all the fans, supporters, sponsors, Davenport University, GVSU Indoor Facility, and all individuals that helped out. Special thanks go out to Dick Smith, Lisa and the Keith Brown Memorial Foundation, Bob MacArthur, Tony Rio, Bobby Bloomfield, Kruger Van Biljon, Patrick O’reilly, Ethan Porter (Asst. Manager), Lucas Theim (injured), MC Laubscher (injured), Eddy Long, Mike Harriet, Tanner, Jason Braid, Evan Haim and his Band of Merry Pranksters, and all the other Lions that came out to practice and played in the poker tournament. And, of course, our amazing sponsors!
Here is the game vs. Peru
