We are well underway, with two tournaments, a game, and a scrimmage behind us. The Barbos are very young this year after losing almost an entire backline and work commitments this year, but new players are filling in nicely. Mother Tucker was a great tourney, with a couple of wins and a couple of losses. We showed throughout that we can ruck and control the ball but need to work on transitioning from offense to defense. A shorthanded team lost to a very good Golden Bears team the following week in our first league game, and that was followed by a scrimmage against the rebuilding Dragons on the following Tuesday. A tourney and two games in 10 days left many on the injured and recovering list for the Maulerfest tournament, which as far as Zak can remember was a pretty good time.
It’s been a tough first two weeks, and we are healing up and getting some trainings together to improve for our next meeting with the Tbirds on June 14. As always, thanks to our sponsors McGinleys Irish Pub, Guinness/Odom Corporation, Kasmar/Slone, and Uncle Joe’s Pizzeria.
