Barbarians 4 Cleckheaton 1
Second game of the day was against Cleackheaton. After a dismal start against Hull the boys had high hopes of securing there 8th win of the season. The first couple of minutes saw the Barbarians look a little flustered, but from then on it was a dominate performance. Wave after wave the attacks came. To be far to Cleckheaton they held on till nearly half time but it was only a mater of time before Barbarians broke there resolute defence. Two goals after the break secured the win with Comets scoring a consolation only for the Barbarians to make it 4-1. A resounding victory that should have been double figures only for the Comets to box out any game plan Barbarians had.
