Under 16s
OlLD Bar's 16s had an uphill battle against a strong Tinonee team at Old Bar. The Barbarians were missing four of their regular players and some reshuffling was necessary. The team was lucky to go into the break 1-0 up thanks to a spot kick converted by Mitch Worth. Tinonee came out firing in the second half, with Old Bar holding on to their slender lead thanks to some fantastic finger tip saves from keeper Patrick Moses. Tinonee's keeper was equally tested- shutting down some great forward runs and thwarting many strong shots on goal. In the last 15 minutes of the match the tide turned and Old Bar managed to put away another two goals with Mitch Worth slotting away a great shot to the top right corner and Jedd Clarke turning the keeper to make it 3-0. Old Bar's backline kept their first clean sheet with Sam Deehan, Trai Bernasconi, Sampson Hillyard and players’ player Justin Romeo providing some fantastic support and were instrumental in shutting down Tinonee's fast forwards. The team heads to Green Point next week in another tough match up but are keen to continue their unbeaten run.
