The English team has won the Camrose 2013. This result was expected, as after the third round of yesterday they were leading 18 VPs over Ireland. Unexpected, instead, has been the path they got it by: in the fourth round Ireland beat them by a sound 22-8; they still led, but only by four VPs. In the last round, however, England destroyed CBAI by 25-0. The final ranking:
England 182
Ireland 170,5
Northern Ireland 161
Wales 146
Scotland 119
CBAI 103
