Beating all comers by a considerable margin with a team comprising several excellent individual players who combined to create a truly formidable team and with little previous exposure at Wing Level the team from 1153 Sqn ran away with the trophy.

Mercilessly wiping out opposing teams in the group stage before crushing the once mighty 1716 Sq in the final,scoring a considerable number of tries to no reply.The Team from Dumfries were worthy winners of the 2010 Inter Squadron Rugby 7s held succesfully at Netherdale in Galashiels.      In the 3rd/4th place play off 2180 (Galashiels) Sq came up against a youthful 867 (Denny) Sq team but after a tense start where both teams were evenly matched 2180 ran out comfortable winners after going behind to an early try from a  spirited Denny 7. Denny were reduced to 6 players due to injury and to thier credit 2180 reduced their team to 6 players in the interest of good sportsmanship.Eight Squadrons contested the Trophy supported by a well drilled staff team of organisers and  match officials.             A special thank you goes to the Referess two of whom were SRU appointed and two others who were ex-cadets and now adult staff at 2180 and 661 VGS.
