ELEVEN schools entered the Plymouth and West Devon Rugby Sevens competition. As a result of one school pulling out on the day Tavistock College entered two teams.
The quickly compiled B team, comprising Andrew Derbyshire, Jim Welland, Warren Smith, Nathan Peck, George Mills, Tom Haigh, Rob Court, Matt Hulbert and Tom Hammond, went out in the first round of the pool competition, losing to the bigger, heavier opposition of Coombe Dean and Tamarside.
Tavistock A team had better fortunes and managed to reach the semi-finals before being beaten by Kelly College in a close run game. The team, comprising Mark Webber, Tom Clutterbuck, Andrew Smerdon, Damian Dee, Doug Phillipson, Jimmy Hubbard, Jake Chinn, Ewen Smith and Ewan McCall, came second behind Kelly College.
This brought Tavistock?s speedy A?team through to the second round against tougher opposition and again they were victorious with a 14-10 win over Devonport and a 31-0 win over Coombe Dean.
