Meanwhile, Mavericks ended their 2012 campaign with another resounding win at a tens tournament at Old Silhillians last weekend.

The Leamington-based side, who were only formed in 2010, have made a serious impact on the sevens circuit this season and manager John Raby is predicting big things for their next campaign.

‘We have had a very fulfilling season and have built on last season’s success, winning three lots of silverware into the bargain,” said Raby.

“We have attracted some major sponsorship for the summer 2013 season when we hope to build on our achievements further.”
