Having already been crowned Borders Semi-junior Sevens Series winners, the Maroons defeated Kelso Quins 45-12 in the final to finish on a high.

Wands were certainly in the tough half of the draw, having to defeat Selkirk Youth Club Sevens winners Melrose Wasps in the first round, then the Souters themselves in the quarter-finals.
