Gibraltar Rock 7's 2008

P.O.H’s inaugural tournament was, suitably, the first Gibraltar Rock sevens tournament featuring teams from Gibraltar and from various spanish divisions. P.O.H came together well in the opening games before a crunch game against Spanish division one side Club de Rugby Atletico Portuense. A very strong and committed performance meant a well earned 15-5 victory which left P.O.H winning the group. In the semi final the P.O.H team were drawn against local club side Gibraltar RFC. P.O.H came away as comfortable winners in what was an extremely physical game. In the final P.O.H faced the spanish side from Puerto Santa Maria again, who had beaten Marbella in their semi-final. Unfortunately, the effort from the semi final took it’s toll and P.O.H went down 12-7 in a well contested but ultimately dissapointing final. The dissapointment went out of the window at approximately 3am when the P.O.H boys took apart local clubs culminating in an extraordinary poledancing virtuoso from top try scorer Jakey Coates (10).
Special thanks should go out to the two most junior members of P.O.H, Stonyhurst’s Albert Isola (the Jackal) and Nick Isola (the headboy) who put in a huge effort and were instrumental in the teams performance. Also a thanks to Dipo Alli for sorting out much of the P.O.H kit, and the extraordinarily tight underarmour stash. ouch...
