It may be early, but the senior women Aurora Barbarians are looking ready to defend their Ontario Women\u2019s League championship.<\/p>\n

A ten try effort gave the Barbs a 60 \u2013 25 victory over the Yeomen Lions in their season opener Saturday, played at Markham\u2019s Fletcher\u2019s Field. <\/p>\n

The Guelph Red Coats and Waterloo County also picked up wins in the first week of league play, the first of ten scheduled games running until mid-July.<\/p>\n

The senior men Barbarians visited Barrie for a friendly match on Saturday, falling 45 \u2013 24. A rainy game at Jim Hamilton Field was controlled from the beginning by a try from Barrie\u2019s Jesse Leadbetter, while Aurora failed to handle themselves defensively. <\/p>\n

Next up for the female Barbs are the Toronto Scottish at Fletcher\u2019s Field. The men opened their regular season on Saturday, visiting Stoney Creek.
\nThe second women\u2019s team also opens their season against the Scottish, following the first team\u2019s game.<\/p>\n
