Yeovil RC Barbarians 26 – 0 Opposition

A fantastic Saturday for Yeovil Rugby Club saw our Barbarians, affectionately known as the Pigs, produce a convincing 26–0 victory, keeping their opponents scoreless and giving the home supporters plenty to celebrate.

With our First XV enjoying a well-earned rest weekend, many of the lads swapped their playing boots for a spot on the sidelines, turning out in force to support their fellow clubmates.

And what a difference it made!

There was a lovely atmosphere around the club on Saturday, with players from both senior squads, members and supporters coming together to enjoy an afternoon of rugby. It's exactly what club rugby should be about — supporting one another, enjoying the game and celebrating together afterwards.

THE PIGS BRING HOME THE BACON!

The Barbarians delivered an impressive all-round performance, putting 26 points on the scoreboard while refusing to allow their opposition a single point.

Four tries, some excellent attacking rugby and a determined defensive effort ensured the Pigs finished the afternoon with a thoroughly deserved victory.

The try scorers were:

• Marc Law – 1 try

• Sam Coomes – 1 try

• Lewis McCarthy – 2 tries and 1 conversion

• Darren Pointer – Additional kicking points

Lewis McCarthy was among the standout contributors, crossing the line twice and adding a conversion to his tally.

With Lewis preparing to return home to Aberdeen following his time in the Royal Navy, it was particularly fitting to see him making such a contribution in one of his final appearances for Yeovil RC.

A fantastic way to finish his time with the Barbarians!

PLAYER OF THE MATCH AWARDS

🏆 Forward of the Match – Lewis Murphy

A well-deserved recognition for his contribution to the forward effort and a strong team performance.

🏆 Back of the Match – Sam Coomes

An excellent afternoon for Sam, who not only crossed the try line but also earned recognition for his performance in the backs.

Congratulations to both players!

ONE CLUB, TWO SQUADS, ONE RUGBY FAMILY

One of the biggest positives from Saturday wasn't just what happened on the pitch.

With the First XV having a much-needed weekend off, it was brilliant to see so many of them at the club supporting the Barbarians.

The seconds regularly turn out to support the first team, so seeing that support returned made for a fantastic club atmosphere.

This is what we want to see more of at Yeovil RC. Whether you're playing for the First XV, representing the Barbarians or simply coming along to watch, we're all part of the same club.

Credit must also go to everyone involved in organising, preparing and supporting the Barbarians, including the leadership of Henry Guy and Terry Guy, who continue to help build a squad with real character and commitment.

A SATURDAY TO REMEMBER

A clean sheet, four tries, a 26–0 victory and a clubhouse full of familiar faces — you really can't ask for much more from a Saturday afternoon!

Thank you to everyone who came along, particularly our First XV players who turned out to back the Barbs.

And to the Pigs themselves — congratulations on a brilliant result. You've certainly given the rest of the club something to smile about!

TWO SQUADS. ONE CLUB. TOGETHER WE STAND. 🖤🤍
