The Pat Slater cup, for her tireless efforts for the juniors and minis, went to Helen Sharp.

A new award for top trainer went to Debbie Ward in North Tawton?s newly formed ladies rugby section, which is proving a great success.

Secretary was Gill Hoggins, treasurer Kerry Skinner and fixture secretary Sarah Quick.
