Tavistock 42 : Exeter 27


Tavistock welcomed a strong Exeter side to Sandy park, knowing very well they are the only team to have beaten them this season. Without four regular faces in the Tavistock back line, they knew it was going to be a tough ask. Despite this however Tavistock recorded an excellent victory in what the coaches, players and spectators believed to be the best game of rugby displayed by the U15s this season.

The game started superbly, with the Exeter kick being collected by Neave who made big dents running with force and power. It wasn’t long before captain Huntley broke free for the first try of her brace and injury prone scrum half Cowie scoring her first try for the club. The first half was very even with the score at half time being 17-17 but Tavistock playing against all elements and a very fast Exeter back line. Credit must be given to wingers Stacey and Bull who closed down their opposite numbers with great success.

The second half saw first blood going to Tavistock through a tremendous break by prop Brown who broke five tackles on her 60m burst for the line. Tavistock opened a gap between the sides only to be caught off guard on turnover ball to see the deficient down to only 3 points, but persistence and some great work in the front row by Midson-Holmes and Hill saw the ball spread wide to stand in flanker Dawe who broke down the wing for Huntley to score her second.

Tavistock finished the game without the ball, but showed some excellent defence to hold off the fighting Exeter side. Player of the match could have gone to a number of players but Neave came out on top for her confident running and sound defence at fullback.
