DENVER WIN 7s SNEATH CUP!

Mike Mangan - with ball in one hand - is about to High 5 a defender in the face...
"Denver won the final of the Denver 7s 38-12 over Aspen, after going up 30-0 at halftime. The Barbarians took the opening kickoff straight for a try and from there the onslaught was on. Aspen was able to score 2 tries (by Mike Palefau and Tim Omi) in the final minutes not to get shut out. 
Dallas Harlequins faced off against the Glendale Raptors for 3rd place with the Raptors coming out on top. The Chicago Lions beat the KC Blues for 5th and the Denver Killer B's took 7th. The Killer B's led by Mike Mangan and Kevin Witcher, had the plays of the tournament. Both ex-Eagles had several long try scoring runs but the highlight of the tournament was Mike Mangan's 70m try against Aspen where he stiff armed two of the would be tacklers to the ground. Although Mike Palefau was the class of the tournament, being the leading try scorer and completely changing many of the games...

Denver has won the first 2 Western qualifiers with Aspen placing second in both of them. Aenver is looking to improve more with the additions of a few players who were not at the last tournament: Justin Stencil (did not play in final due to injury), Maximo de Archival (growing his hair out in Argentina) and the notpakiscorner founders Nic Johnson (playing for the 15s Eagles) and Mark Bokhoven (due to injury). Aspen is also looking to add depth to their team before nationals with Jason 'im made of glass' Pye, if he doesnt get hurt attempting another ill conceived chip kick." - Mark Bokhoven (co-founder of NotPakisCorner.Com) now reporting for the Corner
