The Men’s League 2 Final produced one of the closest contests of the day, as the Royal Logistic Corps overcame the Royal Armoured Corps 29–24 in a tightly fought encounter.
Both sides traded scores throughout, but the RLC held their nerve in the closing stages to secure victory and cap an impressive campaign with the League 2 title.
RA Claim Men’s League 1 Title
The Men’s League 1 Final saw the Royal Artillery gain revenge over the Royal Engineers, overturning the result of their meeting just two weeks earlier in the 99th Cannonball Trophy, where the Engineers secured a narrow 19–13 victory.
This time it was the Gunners who came out on top, producing a powerful attacking display to secure a 37–19 win and lift the League 1 title. After the disappointment of the Cannonball fixture, the RA side delivered a composed and clinical performance to settle the score and claim the silverware.
