The Malta rugby sevens squads flew home to a warm welcome yesterday after their strong performances in the Rugby Europe tournaments last weekend. The men’s selection were the winners of the Conference Cup (2) after ending the competition in Esztergom, Hungary, with a perfect record. They defeated Montenegro 19-0 in the final. In Bosnia, the women’s team also reached the final after winning all their games but could not emulate their male counterparts as they were beaten to the title by Latvia, 15-7. Despite missing out on the title, the Maltese girls still secured promotion to a higher division.
