Honiton 47-30 Topsham II
-Defeat at the hands of Honiton as 2nd XV play their part in cracker-
Our 2nd XV slipped to a third defeat in a row as they came up short battling it out in a tough Honiton test. Some scores late in the first half for the host saw them pull away after a tight first thirty. Honiton continued to grind us down throughout the second fourty but a mix of individual brilliance and determination helped us secure a try bonus and ensure we took something from a far improved performance compared to a week ago. OPMs up next.
Tries: L.Incledon, L.Helden, S.McCormick, A.Washington

Cullompton II 12-54 Tempests
-Tempests make it three league wins on the bounce with comfortable Cully victory-
Our Ladies completed a third league win on the spin as they ran out eight tries to two victors. The Tempests produced a blistering first fourty minute showing to lead 5-33 at the break courtesy of doubles from Atkinson and Santin-Chibbett with Scarlet Smith also scoring her first try in blue. The home side were improved in the second half but there was still time for Meacham, Cobden and Charlesworth with the final play to add further gloss to the scoreline. An impressive result on the road and a half century of points for the second game in a row as our Tempests continue to enjoy a strong start to their season.
