DERBY Under-16s finished runners-up at the NLD Rugby Sevens Cup.
They beat sides from Lincoln, Market Rasen, Boston and Mansfield on their way to the last four, where they saw off hosts Sleaford.
In the final, Derby took on Newark and the teams were locked at 5-5 until the final minute, when a miskick allowed their opponents to score the winning try.
It is the third season in a row that the Derby squad have claimed silverware at the Three Counties (Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Derbyshire) tournament, having previously won the cup and plate events.
The full Derby Under-16 squad move up to play Colts rugby next season, with new players welcome to join up.
