Stag Trinidad Northern lost their second title in a week when they were thumped 40-10 by hosts Harvard Sports Club, who took their own Sevens Rugby Festival title back to their clubhouse on Sunday.
On a muddy outfield at St Mary's College ground, Serpentine Road, St Clair, Harvard turned back Northern in persistent rain, just a week after Northern were beaten 30-10 by Trinidad and Tobago Rugby Football Union (TTRFU) Toyota Championship Division champions and arch-rivals Caribs to lose their grip on the Marcus Minshall Cup.
Royalians cruised to the women's title with victory over Aranguez Romans, despite a tough physical battle by their opponents, while Harvard's Under-19 team were also victorious.
The Festival included competition in the Under-17 Division, which Rainbow Sport and Cultural Club of Marabella won 12-7, edging past Northern's youngsters.
In the non-contact rugby competition, Police Sports Club won the Over-35 "Rugby Reunion" crown.
And Royalians and International School of Port of Spain (ISPOS) won the Under-17 girls and boys competitions, respectively.
Rainbow's youth players also had success, taking both the Under-12 and Under-10 divisions.
Among the Most Valuable Players from the Festival were Claudius Butts (Harvard, Men Open), Dalia Jordan-Brown (Royalians, Women Open) Carlton St Clair (Harvard, Under-19) Themba Jack (Rainbow, Under-17).
