The Milwaukee Barbarians kicked off their rugby sevens season today with a strong showing at the Leines 7s tournament in Appleton, WI.
After pool play, the D1 side were undefeated with a 3-0-0 record. The D2 squad had a 2-1-0 record. Each advanced to the knock-out round.
The D3 record was 1-2-0, one win shy of an qualifying for the next round.
In the semi-finals, the Barbarians had an intra-squad match as the D1 and D2 teams faced off with the D1 lads coming out on top.
The D1 team then met MRFC in an all-Milwaukee rugby final. After 20 minutes, the Barbarians hoisted the trophy with a convincing 33-0 victory.
The D2 team battled Green Bay in the consolation final. Coming up a little short, they finished the day in 4th place.
Players of the tournament were Justin Patterson (D1), Garrett Shibilski (D2), and Ty Ash (D3).
Congratulations to all the players and staff.
