Barbarians takes 6th place at rugby sevens event in Kenosha, WI.

2013 Harborfest 1

The Milwaukee Barbarians today played in Kenosha at the 15th annual Harborfest rugby 7s tournament.

The Barbarians got off to a shaky start with 2 straight losses. 

After re-grouping and calling on some late-arriving athletes — including some fleet-footed front row veterans — the Barbarians changed direction with a big win in their last match of the seeding round against the Woodsmen.

Advancing to the consolation semi-final, they racked up another impressive win against Madison with a 29-5 scoreline to advance to the championship match.
