The final clash of the first Women's 10s Rugby Cup, contested by Kavallieri and Falcons, was played at Marsa last Saturday.

A nail-biting game, with both teams balancing out the score each time, left spectators watching with amusement.

Falcons scored the first try but Kavallieri immediately hit back with a fine move, passing the ball to the right and then all the way to the left to create the gap needed to even the score.

Soon, it was Falcons who scored again after drawing players in a maul and finding an overlap. But, once again, Kavallieri came back with another try after an inside pass, to level matters. However, another try came for Falcons, putting them back in front.

None of these tries were converted and the score at half-time was 10-15 for Falcons.

Everyone was eager for the ball at the start of the second half and the teams were putting in some fine rucking, while attempting at stealing the ball at mauls.

The back line performed well-timed moves which made them go forward while the forward pack got out of the scrum immediately to provide support and keep possession.

Twenty minutes of the second half were almost over with the score remaining unchanged. The referee then called the last play of the match when Kavallieri had the scrum after a forward pass from Falcons.

Kavallieri wisely decided to attack on their blind side, to find the space and run all the way to the try line, therefore equaling the score in the very last seconds.

The conversion kick was successful and that was when the referee marked the end of the match, Kavallieri winning the cup final over Falcons with the final score of 17-15.
