The local team then got to face the strong Lakes team in the Bowl finals.

It was hard to pick a player of the tournament for the Shoals as they all played strongly.
However, sevens is made for players with strength and speed - like the Brandon brothers.
Keiran Brandon scored three tries in one match and two in another, while brother Steve consistently troubled his opponents.

It’s now back on the training paddock for the Shoals.
The Shoals train Tuesday and Thursday from 6 pm at Rugby Park South Nowra and more players are welcome to attend.
Shoals will field three teams in the men’s Illawarra Rugby competition this season and Paul Connor will be coaching the first-grade side this year.
