Brits take glory in Phuket Rugby 10s
The Kukris celebrate victory for the second year running in the Clive Williamson Trophy.
Defending champions the Saudex Kukri Badgers from the UK beat Australia’s Morrabbin Adidas Rams by a convincing 38-0 to take the Clive Williamson Cup in the 2009 Phuket Rugby 10s.
In fairness to the Rams, half their team had only just come off the field after playing in the final of the Coffin Dodgers competition for old-age pensioners, in which they beat the Wanderers Wrinklies from Singapore by a single try, for a scoreline of 5-0.
Phuket’s own Vagabonds failed to take home silver, crockery or cutlery, and the seniors, the Viagrabonds, also missed out, even suffering defeat to their ancient rivals, the Old Bangkok Bangers in the two-team Weasel Cup.
As a possible taste of Vagabonds to come, however, a 15-a-side game pitching Sai Nam Yen School, Patong, against the British International School showed skill and determination on both sides, with BIS squeaking a 5-0 win through a single try.
