The Wake Forest Legends, a 7s team put together each summer to compete in selected tournaments, won the Bowl at the Middlesex 7s outside of Boston on Saturday. The Legends won their first two games in pool play, beating the Nairobi Exiles 21-12 and then disposing of New Haven 20-5. Wake next came up against the Mystic River first side, who was using the tournament to tune up for the national club 7s next weekend in San Francisco. The Legends were never in the game and Mystic were run away winners. The loss left Wake out of competition for the Cup and needing to win its last pool play match against the Middlesex Savages to advance to the Plate final. Tired legs and poor tackling allowed the Savages to come away with a 19-10 win and sent the Legends into the Bowl final against Mystic River B. In an exciting back and forth affair in which the lead changed hands 4 times, Wake came away with a 24-19 win. Tyler Eure led Wake to the Bowl Championship with two long range tries in the second half of the final. Christian Jewett was named team MVP based on his solid play throughout the day for the Legends.
