Our U16 Girls faced a tough challenge away at @ampthill_rugby_girls on Sunday 1 March but clinched a 26-31 win to take them to the top of the Midlands pool in the @englandrugby National Cup. They’re now into the semi-final on 22 March, 2pm, where they will travel to Mansfield.

Massive thanks to Ampthill for being fabulous hosts, and to their girls who definitely put us through our paces.

But the real credit goes to the Barkers girls who dug deep, defended bravely and showed moments of flair exactly when they needed to. Well done girls. We’re proud of you all 💪🏻💙💛 and thank you for everyone who came and supported.

Thanks as always to @nickbimages for the photo credit.
