Wardens win Marist 7s
The match was a final that was full of yellow cards given to both teams, but the majority of yellow cards went to the Army players.
Speaking to our sister station Viti FM after the finals, Army Coach Nemani Matirewa said their major downfall was indiscipline in the side, as five of his players were sent to the bin by referee, James Bolabiu.
