In the first game of the tournament, the Moncton women were caught on their heels, losing to the Trojans’ women. They later went on to defeat the Saint John Irish, Woodstock and then the Loyalists in a sudden death overtime. It was veteran player Lisa Cormier, who in the last minutes of the final game versus the Trojans, pounded the ball in for a try to give the Moncton Black Tide Women a 5-0 win.

Both the Men’s and Women’s teams will travel to Halifax next Saturday to play at the Halifax RFC Atlantic Sevens.
