WHILE many players had their eye on the televised Six Nations tournament Tavistock second XV played a round robin against Launceston and Saltash. They lost 12-28 to Launceston and 5-7 to Saltash in this friendly tournament.

The Tavistock Colts game against Exeter Athletic was a home walkover because they only came with nine players. One of the Exeter tries came from a Tavistock player who played for them to make up their numbers.
