The Scottish Thistles overcame the challenge of Leicester Tigers to take the final of the 125th Melrose Sevens.

The Thistles made sure of a home success by seeing off the Tigers 33-12 at the Greenyards.

Scotland's national sevens development team raced into a 19-0 lead before a try just before half-time gave the English visitors some hope.

They had beaten Ulster 21-5 in their semi-final, while Leicester disposed of Melrose 31-7.

The anniversary tournament was played in front of 12,000 fans who appropriately witnessed 125 tries.

Thistle's Mike Adamson was voted player of the tournament.
