Abi turns out for Scotland in Europe Sevens tournament

-

A FORMER Oban High School pupil was part of the Scotland women’s rugby team that came second in a European competitio­n last week.

Abi Evans played her part in all six of the Rugby Europe Sevens tournament but, unfortunat­ely, the 20-year- old and her team were beaten 34-15 in the final by Sweden.

Scotland topped their group – winning all three games against Switzerlan­d, Czech Republic and Israel.

They then played Czech Republic again in the quarter-finals, and the Scotland seven-a-side squad defeated their opponents 24-5, before winning 17-12 against Germany in the semi-final.

The Scottish team made their way back home on Monday from Prague, where the tournament was held.
