Barbarians hold on for win in Division 3 opener.

The Barbarians kicked off their D3 season this week in a tight affair at Zablocki Park, defeating the visiting cross-town rivals the Black & Blue 14-12.

The Barbarians got off to a good 14-0 lead with tries by Jesse Barron and James DeYoung, each converted by Sam Huschen.

But the visitors hardened their defense and scored 2 tries of their own before the match was over. 

In the end, the sides were separated by the narrowest of margins, a single conversion.
