About Scunthorpe Barbarians RLFC
Scunthorpe Barbarians formed in 2007 from the Braves club, which was formed in 2006 by Ian McBride and Rich Robinson.
The 2006 season saw the club spend the season in the Midland Merit League, playing competitive fixtures all over Yorkshire and North East Lincolnshire, finally finishing 4th out of 6 teams in the League.
The 2007 season saw the club join forces with Scunthorpe RUFC, and operated out of the Heslam Park base of the Union side.
After winning the first game of the season against Rossington Sharks, it was became a bit of a struggle for a win, with the elusive second win being picked up against Scarborough Pirates after the Barbarians were closely beaten by Lincoln.
The club finished the season in 7th position out of 8, after winning 2 and drawing one of their 12 games.
Hopefully the 2008 season will bring better luck for the club, who hope to be able to run two teams every week (one in the Rugby League Conference, and one in the Midlands Merit League).
