Asia Rugby Sevens Trophy: As the Indian women’s team finished runners-up at the Asia Rugby Sevens Trophy for the fourth time, the Rugby India president said that while the team is disappointed with the result, their silver medal will remain a commendable result for the national side.

In a valiant effort, Indian women lost to the Philippines by a whisker in the final. Led by Shikha Yadav, the Indian Rugby Women’s team played with great skill and lost the final by a small margin with the scoreboard reading 7-5.

"While the team is understandably disappointed after such a close encounter, at not winning gold in this edition of the AREST, it can hold its head high at the way in which it played scintillating, no holds barred 7s rugby. A silver medal remains a commendable result for our national women’s team. While Rugby India will constantly strive to turn silver into gold and earn our stripes amongst the top teams in Asia, a streak of four consecutive silver medals is testimony to the consistency and calibre of the ecosystem,” said Rahul Bose, president, Indian Rugby Football Union.
