Griffith’s rugby sevens team secured the Queensland regional Aon University Sevens title over the weekend, winning on overall points despite losing to Bond University in the grand final game of the second local tournament.
The second round was held over two days at Surfers Paradise and featured Bond University, University of Queensland (UQ) and Griffith plus a new combined Queensland side, after University of Adelaide and Melbourne University joined the NSW regional competition to avoid possible border closure issues.

Co-captain Kiri Lingman said while the result against Bond was disappointing, the on-field action was some of the tournament’s best so far.
