In 1997 we started a High School team at Rancho Bernardo H.S. The team colors were
royal blue and white - matching the Gurkha mens team that the founder and coach
(Devon Cutrell), and coach (Ray Steel) had been players with since the mid 1980's.
In 1999 the RBHS
Barbarians played six games of XV's, home and away vs. Las Vegas, home vs
U.C.S.D., away vs. CA youth authority, home and away vs Callabas H.S.
The 2001 season featured a 12 game season, a 2 game trip to Sacramento, and an
alumni game. The Barbarians finished 7-5 including a win against a college side
and 1-1 versus touring Canadian high school teams.
In 1999 the first players from RBHS began playing on the Gurkha club side and
some played for college sides.
In 2004 the U19 club changed its name to North County (Barbarians) Rugby Club,
as many of the players do not attend Rancho Bernardo HS, and it matched the mens team
name change from Escondido (Gurkhas) to North County (Gurkhas).
In 2007 all youth programs were officially merged into the North
County Rugby Inc. a non profit 501 (C)(3) corporation. Due to the long history of
the various programs it was decided that each team would continue to use their original
logos and team names. 2007 was also the first year that we had a boys U16 team, and they
also play under the Barbarian team colors and logo.
