BARBOS SQUEAK BY PARK CITY IN SNOWBOWL
Your Denver Barbarians defeated Park City Haggis 20-19 in a thrilling defensive snow game.

The Barbos defense then held up at their own try line, holding up the ball on the final play.
BARBOS DOWN THE WATERDOGS 69-14
Your Denver Barbarians defeated the Denver Waterdogs 69-14 on a perfect October afternoon at Infinity Park. The game was physical and included some impressive ball work as the two side duked it out for 80 minutes. Alex Wormer was impressive in attack all day as the open side flanker and lineout operator consistently broke the gain line finishing four tries (most of the under the posts). In the end, the relentless Barbo attack was too much for a Waterdogs side who had a man sent to the bin with a red card.
