The Aurora Barbarians U18 girls won the Junior Cup over the weekend, with a 10-7 victory over the Oshawa Vikings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Barbs entered this tournament as the top-ranked team and short-handed four key players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur girls were the 2019 champs, they did a random draw but we were ranked one going into it,\u201d said head coach Khalil Ajram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnother team pulled out, so we got a bye into the semis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belleville Bulldogs defeated Guelph RFC 7-0 in the quarter-finals, booking a date with the Barbarians in the semis. The Barbs handled their business easily with a 22-3 victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the finals, the Barbs took on the Vikings and comfortably won that bout to be crowned champs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe started the game off getting into a little bit of penalty trouble. But, we defended our goal line for a good five minutes. We scored before half and scored in the second half. We got back into penalty trouble before in the last couple of minutes in the game and they scored a try,\u201d Ajram said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe game was over by the time they scored. There was no more time left on the clock.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The core group of girls on this team have been together since U14. They have been training for this tournament since last August and have been working towards this goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big congratulations go out to Lauren Demers (Captain), DebraChong (Vice-Captain),<\/p>\n\n\n\n
