Denia Barbarians kick off

Denia Barbarians up and running for the new season

THE DENIA Barbarians rugunder 14s rugby team opened their new campaign with a narrow loss against Javea Eagles last Saturday

In a fine well balanced match that went down to the wire, the Jávea team secured a narrow victory eventually winning 2520.

A great game to start the season off and congratulations to the Jávea team. Both teams gave 100% to the cause and parents watching the match, should be proud of how the boys and girls performed on the day. A piece of individual skill by the Jávea fly half Finlay in the last quarter of the game, secured Jávea a well earned victory.

I am sure both teams will do well in the upcoming season.

The seniors open their campaign on November 7 and are hoping to get off to a winning start for the 20/ 21 campaign.

Many people don't realise there is a thriving rugby club in Dénia which attracts both junior and senior players from all over the Marina Alta

We welcome all nationalities, both male and female to the club as we embark on a new campaign for the new season

If you are over 18 and played in the UK and are wondering what to do in your spare time, don't worry, come along for a run out and see how you get on. We are sure you will like the atmosphere and training facilities on offer.

With an excellent grass pitch and stadium to train and play in, we are looking for players ( both new and experienced) from 8 years old through to senior players ( 18 +)

Current players come from all around the Marina Alta region, from Calpe to Gandia and inland to the Jalón Valley and Pego.
