Two relegated sides who have played each other regularly for the last 10+ years in the leagues; both having had a stint in Y1 but now in Y3. The question particularly with the lay off, is how they would fair with either new players or the old brigade? Well both sides were barely recognisable apart from the the odd old soldier! WPL seem to have had a number of experienced players playing, although according to one of their spectators most were really 2nd team players having a few ‘1st team players’ missing for this game. Barns on the other hand had a number of young new players players playing their first senior rugby for Barns, although also had a few players missing. As would be expected by the final score the Barns lads basically ran WPL off the field, having had a fairly even game up to the hour and then Barns ran away with it and the score could easily have been a lot higher if not for the WPL defence in the first half. So for the rest of the season with the 2 relegated sides playing each other we are both unsure of the level of rugby to expect, hopefully next week against last years Y3 opposition will give us both a better idea?
