 EX-MALTA RUGBY BACKS COACH , BARRY MADDOCKS, APPOINTED
ENGLAND RUGBY WOMENS SEVENS COACH.
Mr. Maddocks was appointed by Malta’s National Director of Rugby, Mr. Damian Neill as Backs Coach for the national Rugby team, a position he held for several years ; attending international matches, home and away.
Much of the fast handling, free and wide running style for which Malta are renowned was developed under Mr. Maddock’s guidance, which is a compliment to the vision and wisdom of Mr. Neill.
The Malta Rugby Football Union issues its sincere thanks for his contribution and wishes him every success in his new and exciting challenge. England Women are second only to New Zealand in world rugby and are European champions at 15’s rugby so Mr. Maddocks will have to aim high for the top spot in Sevens.

MALTA 22 VS SWEDEN 14
Desite playing with only 14 men for over half the match, Malta scored a deserved win over Pool Leaders Sweden. Both sides scored two tries but actually Malta could have scored more if they had not wasted several overlaps through selfish running or poor final passes.
Both sides tended to give away possession with inaccurate kicking but nevertheless it was an exciting match. On this form it should have been Malta gaining promotion.
