Fine Win For Under 16s

WITH no seniors game last weekend, the club focused on the S16s who entertained Les Abelles B in Denia on Saturday February 11.

Following a week of unsettled weather, it turned out to be a glorious day of sunshine and perfect conditions to play flowing rugby.

The Barbarians started off strong scoring within 10 minutes with tries from Marc (two) and Dieg, all converted by Winder.

Les Abelles then shot back with a fine try in the corner to reduce the deficit to 19­5.

Fine tries by Marc and Diego took the home side into half time leading 31­5.

In the second half, the home team continued to pile on the pressure and further tries from Maya, Sam, Alejandro and Diego ensured the home team ran out winners 57­10.

THIS distinction is granted by ADEAC to coastal environments next to blue flag beaches.

The bay of Altea has recently been recognised as Sendero Azul, a distinction awarded annually by the Association for Environmental and Consumer Education (ADEAC) to paths and itineraries that have been transformed into valuable resources for interpretation and environmental education, close to beaches with blue flags or in inland territories.

The under 16s do not have a fixture this weekend but the Seniors play San Roque on Saturday afternoon in Denia at 4pm.

The Barbarians run Academy teams from under 16s to 18s through to seniors and welcomes everyone to come and join. Free coaching is available. Call Santi (Spanish) on 676 612 357 or Mac (English) on 609 646 349 for information.
