Fast start from the Barbs
The Barbarians came out flying. They struck first in the 8th minute with a try out wide, and while the conversion missed, the early 5-0 lead set the tone.

They doubled down in the 17th minute with a second try. Again the conversion went begging, but at 10-0 the Barbs were in control and Valley were struggling to get out of their own half.

Valley Fort hit back
Valley Fort Champs regrouped and finally found some rhythm before halftime. Max Kelly powered over for their first try in the 33rd minute, and Ryan added the conversion to make it 10-7. Suddenly it was a one-score game and the momentum had flipped.

Barbs seal it
Just when Valley Fort looked like they might complete the comeback, the Barbarians responded. A third try in the 39th minute restored the two-score cushion at 15-7.

Valley Fort kept pushing to the final whistle, but the Barbs defence held firm to close out the win.
