May 11 2008 by Staff Reporter, Wales On Sunday

YOUNG Ospreys won the 59th Old Penarthians Sevens at Penarth at their first attempt last night.

They beat Cardiff High School Old Boys, seven times former winners, 38-26 in the final of what claims to be Wales’ oldest surviving Sevens.

Wing Liam Powell and forward Tom Lampard each scored two of Young Ospreys’ six tries.

Cardiff HSOB were 24-7 down at half-time.

Highlight was the semi-final in which Young Ospreys beat WOTs – ‘Way Over Thirties!’ – 19-14 after extra time. WOTs included former Welsh internationals Allan Bateman, aged 43, and Glenn Webbe, 45, as well as Kevin Ellis, who is 43 on May 29. “It took a professional outfit to beat us,” Webbe said.
