Season 2010/11

5th XV aka Barbarians (MFC Team of Year 2010) is the perfect starting point for any player wishing to start or return to Social but competitive rugby.

2011 sees the continuation of Skipper, Tom Clarke, at the helm of the Barbarians as they embark on yet another campaign – although still playing at the same level but in the newly amalgamated, reshuffled and tougher “Early Bird 6 West” league. Tom’s mission and intention is to build on last year’s success of 5^thposition in Mid Kent C and turn those narrow defeats of last season into narrow victories.
Continuing in their roles are Drill Coach Colin Frost and Fitness Coach Richard Hadfield, ably assisted by Coach Steve Oakley. Under their guidance, the Barbarians hope to go from strength to strength with more emphasis on technical know-how and gentle refreshers covering overall fitness.
If you or anyone you may know is interested in playing in a team that trains together, plays together, tours together and celebrate together (End of Season Awards 2011), the Barbarians extend an open invitation to all irrespective of ability.
