Both teams coming through a tough Pool draw and semi-final contenders to be deserved finalist, with Howe of Fife dispatching the hosts Boroughmuir Rugby in the semi-finals.
Edinburgh were in control of the final with well-timed runs and pure pace when it counted. Howe of Fife not being out done by their professional counter-parts stayed right in the game with the majority of the possession and playing right to the end. Final score 34-14.
Hamilton Rugby won the in a very exciting Plate final against Stirling County. What was considered the game of the tournament; the lead changed positions throughout the game, with coaches carefully making use of their substitutions were used at the right time to ensure consistency and pressure against the opposition.
With scores tied up it was a last break by Hamilton and desperate defence from Stirling that had the crowd on edge, with Hamilton slipping the final tackle to run in under the posts. Final Score 26-19 to Hamilton.
Next 7s tournament on the Legacy 7s calendar will be in Howe of Fife on the 3rd May.
