In game one we met the hosts who had already warmed up by playing Chess Valley. Too be honest it was a poor showing from our boys as we did not manage to get our back line into play, preferring to have an arm wrestle in midfield with the bigger Barnet forwards. Playing down a huge slope in the first half we did manage to take the lead when Kyle finished off our only backs move of the game. Alfie put over the drop kick conversion (something new and worth 2 pts to add to the 5 for a try). We were rocked however when Barnet deservedly equalised by scoring from their rolling maul. However they missed their conversion and we led 7 - 5 at the break. Despite playing up hill, things improved for our boys in the second half and Cameron scored to give us a sizeable lead. Alfie converted the try and we won the game. Not a great display but a winning start all the same. Final Score Barnet 5 Welwyn 14
