THE CBRE Mavericks vaulted to the top of the standings of two divisions of the 2016 JML 7s League after winning three out of their four games last weekend at the Southern Plains, Canlubang.

The Mavericks now sit on top of both the Plate (2nd) and Bowl (3rd) divisions.

In the Plate division, the CBRE Mavericks decisively defeated the Manila Hapons 31-0 and followed with another win overcoming the Alabang Ibons in a close and exciting match up.

Former Philippine Rugby Union Finals MVP Jovic Paypon desperately holds on to the ball while sprinting past a defender as he rushes forward the pitch to try to score in another rugged game of Rugby.

Philippine Volcano Alexander Aronson, along with Philippine Residents XV representative Damien Fouracres led the way for the Mavericks. Three teams have nine points in the Plate. The CBRE Mavericks are on top with a better point’s difference over Alabang Ibons and Makati Chiefs.

In the Bowl division, CBRE Mavericks rose to the top of the table after round 2. They held Quezon City Polytechnic University to a 5-5 draw an then tripped the Alabang Loros to take top spot.

The Subic Sharks are currently sitting in second place after beating both the Manila Carabaos and the Makati Chiefs. The Alabang Loros also lost to Quezon City Polytechnic University and subsequently dropped from first place to fourth.

The Alabang Eagles Men’s and Women’s first division teams dominated the top divisions having won all their games.

The Lady Eagles took the field first winning both games against Miriam College. In the Men’s division Federico Krause set up a shock first try for the Manila Nomads straight from the kick off.

It didn’t take long for Tim Bweheni and the rest of the Alabang Eagles to show their dominance in the Cup division running away eventual winners in both games: 19 to 5 in the first, and 25 point to nil in the second. The Clark Jets return for week 3 after a scheduled bye. They will however be without their Captain and Philippine Volcano Jovan Reyes Masalunga who suffered a season ending injury in the Philippine Residents XV game last week.  The young Jets, who will miss their leader for the rest of the league, face a huge task ahead of them.

The JML 7s League is held weekends at Southern Plains, Canlubang. It consists of six weeks of competition, followed by a finals week to determine the champion teams for all four divisions.
