ILKLEY produced a stunning performance to win the Secure Trading 24/Sevens Series at Bath on Saturday.

After winning all their three group matches and semi-final against Samurai Bulldogs, Ilkley claimed the national crown with a 19-12 win over Honey Badgers.

Player of the tournament Ben Magee scored two tries and JH Johnson one as Ilkley took the title.

"To play here at the Rec against all these great teams was amazing. To be national champions is a great achievement for us, a group of lads from a small club who just wanted to give sevens our best shot."
