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.
However, the Barbarians lost in the consolation final to a very determined team from UW Whitewater, ending the tournament 6th overall.
