THERE was no lack of passion from the young players as the much awaited Tavistock v Okehampton series of mini rugby matches were played out at Sandy Park, Tavistock on Sunday.

Both clubs were well represented by a pool of youngsters, showing the strength of rugby in West Devon.

The ground was buzzing with teams from the U7s, U8s, U9s, U10s and U11s all cheered on by their coaches and parents.
