The BVI Rugby Football Union’s BVI Barbarians proved superior in a friendly match against the Puerto Rican Exiles last weekend at the A. O. Shirley Recreation Ground.
The Barbarians emerged victorious in both 10-aside matches, securing wins with scores of 2-0 and 5-0.
The BVI Barbarians outplayed their Puerto Rican counterparts, demonstrating superior coordination and strategy on the field. The event was a celebration of rugby talent and camaraderie, with Luke Saltonstall receiving the prestigious Player of the Year award at the federation’s annual dinner. The accolade was a testament to Saltonstall’s exceptional performance and dedication throughout the season.
Adding to the evening’s festivities, the Puerto Rican players seized the opportunity to be photographed with BVI’s most decorated rugby player, Andrew Simmonds.
