Twelve is the lucky number for sevens star Rob

CPBigwood’s Rob Watts is celebrating being part of the RICS Matrics rugby team that won the recent National Surveyors Sevens.

They beat Jones Lang LaSalle after extra time in the final at Richmond Athletic Ground watched by a crowd of more than 4,000.

And the graduate surveyor picked up the player of the tournament award, having scored 12 tries in all.

The Sutton Coldfield RFC and Warwickshire 1st XV player said it had been an “amazing experience”.

He added: “Winning the tournament was fantastic because we stopped Jones Lang LaSalle getting a hat trick of victories and we played some great running rugby.

“Player of the tournament was the icing on the cake. It was a real honour – England legend Rob Andrew won it in 1991!”

Educated at Fairfax School, Sutton Coldfield, and Birmingham City University, he joined CPBigwood last year.
