Salcombe First XV beat St. Columba (14-10)
Salcombe staged a spirited second half comeback after falling behind 10-3 in the first half down at Defiance Field, home of St Columba & Torpoint.
The Crabs were made to make a late change to the team when heavyweight prop Jim Mole pulled out with an Injury. Jeremy Foster was brought in as cover to give the forward pack some more mobility. The home side came out of the blocks and attacked Salcombe right from the start. They were soon 3-0 up after Salcombe gave away a cheap penalty. As the half wore on Salcombe struggled to get a foothold on to the game and they were caught in midfield when the Torpoint centre crashed through to score under the posts. With the simple kick added, Salcombe found themselves 10-0 down. This seemed to wake up the visitors as they began to piece together some phases of play. The Salcombe line-out was truly dominant for the entire game. Hooker Sam Viles found his men with ease with great accuracy. Sean Baker and James Cooper rose the highest each time to secure the ball and to steal several of the opposition line-outs. Salcombe should have scored two Try’s of their own after some sustained attacking play but both of these chance went begging when it seemed easier to score. The only reward for the pressure was a 3 point penalty from Chris Drew.
Into the second half playing down the slope Salcombe were able to use field position well and with the dominant line-out unit in action it gave more ball for the backs to use. Centres James Palmer and Rupert Bevan carried the ball strongly but were well contained by the spirited defence from Columba. The pressure from the visitors soon paid off when Drew slotted a penalty for an offside offence. Almost immediately after the score a turnover by flanker Ian Smerdon led to the ball being passed down the line. Captain Darren Hopkins received the ball on the half way line and used his pace to score a great try in the corner. With the conversion missed the game was still in the balance with the Crabs leading by a single point. The home side rallied but couldn’t breakdown Salcombe’s resilient defence. The Crabs had the final word when Drew added a final penalty to secure victory.
Salcombe’s victory takes them to the top of the league.
