BARBOS DEFEAT BOULDER TO OPEN 2022 FALL SEASON

The men in Green & White crossed the white line early and often in the first half, opening the scoring through the young (but experienced) fullback Luka Pavlakis. A line break in the first minute resulted in Pavlakis’ first try of the day as the Barbos got 5 points on the board in the first minute. Boulder countered back with a score of their own, and the score was knotted at 5-5, 8 minutes into the match. But, it was from that point on when the Green & White attack grabbed a hold of the game. A barrage of tries from the 10-40 minute mark put Dante Brown, Alex Wormer, Conor O’Brien, Stevie Karas (the skipper), Alex Schultz, Luka Pavlakis (again), Jason Tubbs Christensen, and the entire forward pack (penalty try) on the score sheet. Liam Wynne ticked over 6 conversions and score at halftime was 59-5.

Meet Luca Tani. 4 Syllables, 8 Letters. A creature of flight in the air (he’s tall and can jump), and a galloping land creature when comes back down to earth. His versatility helped earn him a Rugby Rent Scholarship last spring, and he’s been a club man ever since. You can’t miss the beard, the tatts and of course, the chicken legs.

MEET CAMPBELL JOHNSTONE

Maryland born and bred (crab cakes and rugby), Campbell “Soup” Johnstone lives and breathes the sport. Size, power and grace goes into each step when he takes the pitch. His passing is subpar to none, putting the ball on a rope even as he straightens and challenges the defensive line. He’s a 14 minute man in the 7’s game, and his gas tank is never empty.
