Watch the Barbos on the big stage in the videos below.
Ruggerfest, one of the most acclaimed rugby tournaments in America, is held every year at the scenic Wagner Park in Aspen, CO. The last time the Barbos made it to the final, was in 2013 against cross-town rival the Glendale Raptors.
10 minutes before kickoff, the clouds rolled in and a rainstorm of epic proportions flooded the field. The water and mud only added to the spectacle!
2013 Ruggerfest Final vs. Glendale
“It takes a village” was a phrase often uttered by players, coaches, trainers, team management, fans, and strangers walking past the field during the 2018 season… And that it did…
With all hands on deck, the Barbos had an undefeated season which saw them progress to the DII Men’s Club Rugby National Championship Final against a formidable Detroit Tradesmen side. The rest, is history!
2018 National Championship 15s Final
When the 2020 season was cancelled due to the pandemic, the Barbos were hungrier than ever in 2021.
Facing record hot temperatures and record low air quality (due to local Colorado wildfires), the Barbos still managed to qualify for the USA Club 7s Nationals. It was here that they progressed as far as the 3rd/4th playoff game vs. the St. Louis Bombers. Watch that game above!
2021 7s Ntnl. Championship 7s 3rd/4th
After the heartbreak of making it to the big dance in 2022 only to go down and finish second in the country, the Barbos were hungrier than ever to make amends in 2023.
After a slew of close matches against tough opponents, the team slugged it out and made it to the final in back-to-back seasons, this time against Boise United. Watch that match using the link above!
