On Sunday 25 September 2011 the Dunedin club swept all
before it when it won the Rural Rugby 7s tournament held in Middlemarch. This
tournament also doubled as trials for the 2012 Otago 7s team.

Playing in cool conditions with occasional snow showers
sweeping across the field, the Dunedin team beat Alhambra (27-10), Maniototo
(53-0) and Green Island (43-17) to comfortably qualify for the semi-finals.

The semi-final against a Strath Taieri invitation team say
Dunedin pile on the pressure and go to the break with 3 tries (Liam Edwards (2)
and Brad Weber) under their belt. A further two tries in the second half to
Ashton Tuck and Anthony Diack along with 4 Edwards conversions throughout the
match saw the team into the final with a comprehensive 33-0 victory.

The final was against University. Early tries to Ashton
Tuck, Liam Edwards, Brad Weber and Mark Atkins together with 4 conversions saw
Dunedin out to a 26-0 lead and looking odds-on to take out the title, however
University struck back before the half time hooter with two converted tries and
the lead was trimmed to 26-14. A try to Mark Atkins from the second half
kick-off saw the lead extended to 31-14 and again looking comfortable but
University dug deep and scored two more converted tries against a tiring
Dunedin defence to make it 31-28 with a couple of minutes to play. The victory
was finally sealed with an 80m individual effort from Liam Edwards who outpaced
the entire University team to make the final score 36-28.

Team members:

Gareth Evans, Brad Weber, Mitch Zandstra, Mark Atkins, Hugh
Blake, Anthony Diack, Zac Kelly, Ashton Tuck, Ben West, Jaron Drozdak, Tumua
Ioane and Liam Edwards.

 At the end of the tournament the following were named in the
Otago 7s training squad
