VALLEJO 26 – Mendocino 0 Referee: Phil Akroyd
As at Chico two weeks ago, Mendocino traveled short to Vallejo. They arrived with eight players and the coaches agreed to play eight against eight (with a tight five in the scrums) until Vallejo got their four tries for their bonus points. This took thirteen minutes, at which point the coaches agreed to mix players and play fifteen on fifteen, over three periods of twenty minutes.
The scrimmage was good fun, with all players (and me) taking the opportunity to work on fitness in the dry, sunny and warm conditions on Mare Island. Some of the passing and running by the Vallejo players was quite stunning at times and I hope that this team can realize their potential.

I was finally able to see the Vallejo Barbarians play last Sat. against Mendecino. Although my son is on the team and I love to watch them play, I have missed all their out-of-town games! WOW, are they good! It was a beautiful day, my entire family was there to support Nick and the team, and ,they played like pros! Plus, no one got injured. I only wish Vallejo would support their only city Rugby team.
These guys practice hard and play well, where is the press?
