Salcombe First XV beat New Cross (13-11)
For the second time in three weeks Salcombe didn't turn up for the first 30 minutes and found themselves 13-0 down due to a penalty and two unconverted tries, albeit one coming from a fluky fly hack and similar bounce. In tight league matches this just isn't good enough. Although they scored 11 points without answer in the following 50 minutes and once again superior fitness meant that the Crabs were pressing hard at the end, they still came away with only the losing bonus point as a consolation for their endeavours.
The catalogue of errors in the first period reads like any minis coach's list of things to ensure his players have grown out of by the time they are 10. Going into a ruck from the side or going straight in off their feet; trying to hold an opposition maul stood upright when the other side have driven you back with good body positions; taking a ball back into the 22 and then kicking direct to touch; knocking on a no pressure ball that has been kicked ahead when it could be stopped with the feet.
Once the Crabs decided to play some rugby they looked generally in charge with the lineouts and sets going well and with Rupert Bevan particularly amongst the backs having some good runs. Liam Wills, Darren Hopkins and Oli Masters also looked threatening and amongst the forwards yet again Sean Baker and Scott Lowry got through sterling work. When he came on to replace the injured Jez Foster, Jim Winzer made his mark and a great drive by him set up the position for the backs to move the ball swiftly to Masters on the wing who went over in the corner. On a difficult day for kicking Chris Drew narrowly missed the conversion having already in the first half put over a great penalty from 40 yards out. He followed that up with another penalty late in the second half to move the score to 11-13 but the New Cross defence held out to deny the Crabs another chance.
Next week its league again this time away at North Tawton ko 2.30. The 2s, following their 40-29 win at Paignton, will be at home to Ivybridge 3s, ko again 2.30.
