Launceston U10s 10 Tavistock U10s 65 TAVISTOCK started well and caught the Launceston lads sleeping with a try at the start. At the break, Tavistock led 25-0 with a Charlie Fethney (two tries) and Will Partington (three tries) show. The second half opened with Launceston having to defend their line with Tavistock putting together wave after wave of attacks but eventually the defence faltered and Charlie Fethney scored a try which was out of the top drawer. Launceston tried to break down Tavistock and were better in the scrums but at the end of the second half they trailed 50-5. The third half started with both sides looking tired but they drove on and at the final whistle Tavistock were victorious. Cullompton RFC U15s 41 Tavistock RFC U15s 5 THE match started brightly for Tavistock as they caught the home side cold and a ruck in the home side half saw the ball fed to Mark Friend who outpaced the defence to score in the corner. This seemed to galvanise the home side and after a series of scrums they pushed over for their first try. Tavistock, playing into the wind, struggled to clear the ball. The home pack started to dominate and three tries went the home side?s way. In the second half it was much the same with the Tavistock forwards unable to retain ball often enough to provide the backs with useful ball and the home side ran in three more tries. Late pressure by Tavistock saw them camped inside the opponents? 22 but the home side broke away for their final try. Plymouth Argaum RFC U13s 0 Tavistock RFC U13s 46 TAVISTOCK turned out with a squad of 21 to play a less experienced but enthusiastic team which was only established at the beginning of this season. With a first half advantage of the downhill slope, Tavistock drove forward and were rewarded by a try from a Jonty Newton and Chris Swash advance, concluded by a short run along the wing by Frazer Bayliss. The second try came from a similar advance from a Dominic Dewson, Swash and Newton combination. The fourth try was delivered by fly half Henry Kisby running unopposed through a gap in the centre of the field. He also converted. The confidence of Tavistock grew, enabling different types of open play but with diligent cover to avoid players becoming isolated. One try was disallowed as the player crossed the dead ball line before grounding under the posts. The fifth try came from scrum half Frazer Bayliss exercising surprise by taking the ball blindside from a scrummage in the opposition 22. In the second half the gradient slowed the speed of the backs while the pack in different formations drove forward. One such enabled Martin Budden to deliver the sixth try. In a subsequent drive Dewson made 20 metres before being tackled just short of the line but in a deft movement got the ball to a waiting Bayliss to make his third crossing. The final try came from a drive out of a ruck by Swash. The ball had been well protected by the Tavistock forwards in a series of forward drives before the opening to the line occurred. Tavistock U11s 28 Plymstock U11s 14 AFTER away matches at Okehampton, where Tavistock lost by the odd score, and Ivybridge, where the spoils were shared in two games, this was another tight and entertaining match. Tavistock opened the scoring with an aggressive burst from Charlie Charlton after excellent work by the home pack. Tom Jackman made good breaks, trying to unleash the hard running centres, skipper Charlie Carter and Daniel Dobie, before William Slater and Charlie Charlton extended the lead with two more well taken tries. Thomas Wheeler scored Plymstock?s first try with a strong run to the corner. Tavistock?s final try brought Charlie Charlton a hat-trick before Plymstock replied with their second. Tavistock?s player of the match Zak Brinkhurst capped a fine individual display converting all four tries. Launceston U9s 10 Tavistock U9s 10 Launceston established an early lead while Tavistock sought to find their feet. In the last few minutes of the half? Tavistock put Callum over in the corner for a try. After half time team changes, Tavistock came back in aggressive form, dominating defence and blocking all but two attacks. An excellent interception by the Tavistock props saw Ben run in a try from well within the half. Turnover ball sent Laurence sprinting for the line. A mistake on the Launceston wing enabled Reuben to make a dash from the halfway line to score. Tavistock bonded well as a team and ran in try after try, with Callum, Fred and Ben adding to the scoresheet. After team changes for the final phase, Launceston fought back from what seemed like an impossible lead.
