THE Cyprus Moufflons ended up winning the plate competition for the best losing side in the very prestigious Manchester City Sevens Tournament on Saturday.
They have a new manager Ruaridh Pye for the sevens and is joined by Cyprus veteran Andy Binicos who will manage the Cypriot Sevens side in the future.
Over 16 sides competed for the top prize in Manchester with £2,000 for the winners. After valiantly battling with the Wizards from Wales, Red Pandas and the Irish Exiles, the Cypriots left the ground after beating the Carmarthen Warriors 41-7.
This was the opening tournament of the forthcoming Sevens season for the mighty Moufflons, who will once again challenge for the European Cup Sevens Tournament in June having beaten Germany in the Plate competition in two successive years.
