Vaiala and Roma Fou were equal on first place after the points were tallied, but the Vaiala girls took the lead from point difference.
This year the women’s 7s consists of a round robin with all teams playing followed by a final after eight weeks of competition.
The team with the highest number of competition points at the completion of the round robin will have a final ranking of 1. The team with the next highest number of points at the conclusion of the round robin will be ranked 2.
SRU’s Women’s Development Officer, Toluiva Alapati says “Samoa’s rugby gets its strength from these tournaments and it is heartening to see the increase number of young talented girls representing their teams respectively.”
“This tournament also is the platform for the selection of a National Team to compete in the upcoming FORU Oceania 7's tournament, and Samoa’s Under 16 training squad for the Youth Commonwealth next year.”
Ms Alapati added the competition is still open for any teams who wish to register.
The 5 teams competing in this year are Aana 1. Aana 2, Vaiala, Roma Fou with Nuuausala confirming their two teams for this week.
