WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Sam Edgerley scored a try in extra time to give England a 24-19 win over Kenya Saturday in the final of the Wellington Sevens, the fourth round of the International Rugby Board's World Series. England turned around a dismal season when it scored twice late in a tense final to deny Kenya its first ever victory in a World Series tournament. Kenya, which shocked defending champion and World Series leader New Zealand to reach the final, rallied from 12-0 down during the first half to lead England 19-12 with time up on the clock. But, reduced to only five men by two yellow cards, Kenya conceded a try to Christian Lewis-Platt that tied the scores on full time and was then denied by Edgerley's match-winner in overtime. The final set the seal on a tournament punctuated by massive upsets. England set the tone when it beat New Zealand, first-placed in the world standings, in the opening round of pool play Friday. New Zealand had managed to rally with wins over Spain and the United States to reach Saturday's quarterfinals of the top-tier Cup competition. — AP
