Tavistock Under 14s 7 Plymstock Under 14s 0 IN this closely fought encounter, Tavistock had to show strength and depth to ensure victory. Both sets of forwards displayed passion and aggression, and each team?s threequarters were evenly matched in defensive tackling. From the kick off Jamie Ross took a clean catch and set up the first Tavistock attack. From the resulting scrum, Sean Hill made a 40 metre run, but Plymstock kicked clear. A well contested lineout gave Tavistock possession and super quick hands by Ollie Wheeldon, to Sean Hill, to Miles Ross at speed led to the Tavistock try under the posts. Conversion by Sean Hill. The rest of the half was end to end play, and despite a 50 metre run by Harrison Short on the wing, neither side came close to scoring. Strong ball ripping in mauls by Erik Sprangle prevented Plymstock making the most of the territory they claimed. Early in the second half a storming run by George Gibbons kept pressure on Plymstock, and the defensive kick was swallowed by Dan Scott whose attacking run was ended by solid Plymstock tackling. For the last 10 minutes of the match Tavistock had to defend, and Fraser Carter at full back dealt confidently with several Plymstock attacking kicks into the 22. Finally the Tavistock pack held firm, won a ball against the head, and the kick to touch completed a tense and riveting game. Man of the match : George Gibbons. As both sides had large squads, a third period was played, with Tavistock tries from Will Glover and Matt Robbins, and Kerrie Russel-Wilson demonstrating both his running and tackling skills.
