Rallying from an indifferent performance in the first half, which saw them trailing 8-10 to Army Sports Control Board, hosts Bombay Gymkhana turned the tables in the second session to score six points and prevail 14-10 in the title match of the 87th edition of the All India & South Asia Rugby 15s Championship at their ground here, on Sunday.

The Plate Final was won by Calcutta Cricket & Football Club (CCFC), who outplayed Magicians Foundation India 28-5. It was only fitting that Bombay Gym and CCFC took home the main honours, as this Trophy was instituted jointly by them in 1924 and is one of the oldest rugby tournaments in the world.
