A Leicester Tigers side picked up the club's first silverware this season as they returned home victorious from the North Walsham Sevens over the Bank Holiday weekend.

Tigers crushed London Irish 40-15 to win the Senior Cup in Norfolk on Sunday afternoon, building on last month’s appearance in the final of their first Sevens tournament of the year in Melrose, Scotland.

Former North Walsham youngsters Ben and Tom Youngs and Ben Pienaar were all in a Tigers squad that defeated Cambridge University and Scorpions in the group stages, before overcoming Krusaders and Cambridge University once more on the way to the final.

Tigers scored more than 30 points in all five games, conceding only six tries along the way.

Next up for Tigers is the Stoneygate Sevens, which takes place this Saturday, May 10.
