Fine win for Barbarians under 16s
WITH no seniors’ game last weekend, the club focused on its under 16s team who entertained Les Abelles B in Denia on Saturday
Following a week of unsettled weather, it turned out to be a glorious day of sunshine and perfect conditions to play flowing rugby.
The Barbarians started off strongly, scoring within 10 minutes with tries from Marc (2) and Diego, all of which were converted by Winder.
Les Abelles then came back into the fray with a fine try in the corner to reduce the defecit to 19-5.
Fine tries by Marc and Diego took the home side into half-time leading 31-5.
In the second half, the home team continued to pile on the pressure and further tries from Maya, Sam, Alejandro and Diego ensured the home team ran out winners 57-10.
The under 16s do not have a fixture this weekend but the seniors play San Roque at 16.00 on Saturday afternoon, in a home encounter in Denia which a must-win game if they are to finish in the play-off positions at the end of the season.

you could say we are a multinational set up which evokes the culture of Barbarians rugby.
