Rugby Report loss to Pirates

19th July 2023

Rugby Report

Barraba Rams travelled to Pirates on the weekend knowing the task would be difficult especially for the girls as Pirates have a surplus of players with the ramettes short on sufficient numbers.  Pirates on the game 39-5.  Players player – K Fisher, 3 points K Newell, 2 K Fisher, 1 Chantell who filled in for Barraba.

The men’s game was a hard slog as the score indicates with a 5-7 score to Pirates.  Barraba played most of the game through the forwards, so the backs did not see a lot of ball during the game.   A possible winning opportunity for the visitors was not taken for a penalty chance to win the game.  Players player J Robinson, 3 points J Mallise, 2 J Robinson, 1 O McKenna.

This coming Saturday Barraba is home to Gunnedah, other zone games are Quirindi v Narrabri, Inverell v Pirates, Moree v Walcha and Scone have the bye.  Saturday the club will be hosting a function before the game for our generous sponsors, so we hope to see you there. 

Good luck to our three Barraba juniors Regan, Zahlie and Dusty who will be pulling on the NSW Country jersey for the annual City v Country clash in Maitland on Sunday the 23rd.
