BARBOS NAME THEIR TOP SIDE FOR CLUB 7’S NATIONALS

After a long summer, it was difficult and humbling to select only 13 players from a group that battled and competed internally for months. Our group of players can hold their heads high knowing the effort required to make this first side was immense all summer. Each year, the standard is raised by our coaches, staff & player leadership. This year was no exception.

The team fielded three sides on June 18th for our host event, the Denver 7’s, at Prospect Park. They then travelled to Park City Utah with two sides. Now the focus shifts to the heartland city of St. Louis, where the men in Green and White look to walk away national champions. The sole team that will represent our club are the following:

Mickey Bateman - Auckland, New Zealand

Malik Bryant - Miami, FL

Campbell Johnstone - Annapolis, MD

Nick Johnson - Denver, CO

Devarius “Beanie” Miller - Palm Beach, FL

Jack Miller - City of Victoria, Hong Kong

Conor O’Brien - The Bronx, NY

Noah Pflaum - Singapore, Republic of Singapore

Gus Sokol - Cleveland, OH

Eric Sykes - Norfolk, VA

Luca Tani - Sunnyvale, CA

Alex Wormer - Evergreen, CO

Liam Wynne - Colorado Springs, CO

Alex Wormer and Eric Skyes have anchored the forwards for years …

The tournament will be held at Emmerson Central Fields all day Saturday & Sunday, August 13th & 14th. It will be live streamed on The Rugby Network.
