Tavistock RFC U9s 30
Devonport Services U9s 5
TAVISTOCK put in an aggressive and ball hungry performance against Devonport Services showing their true capabilities.
The Tavistock team competed ferociously for every breakdown creating a physical contest between two hard tackling sides. This lead to numerous turnovers and with the strong and straight running from front rowers Oscar Campbell, Harry Richardson Cameron Geogel and Nicholas Buckeridge-Hobbs the majority of play was in the Services half. This gave Tavistock the chance to apply some strong mauling and ball ripping led to tries for Henry Varndell-Dawes, Louis Peake and scrum half Harry Edwards (2). Oscar Campbell was rewarded for his strength by dragging the Services defence over the line twice to score.
Services never gave up and were only thwarted by a disciplined Tavistock defence, and did earn their hard fought try.
