Salcombe First XV lose to Wessex (3-19)
For the second week running the Crabs travelled up to Exeter, this time for the Devon Junior Cup match with Wessex, and came away with no reward. The difference between the two sides was that Wessex made the most of the few opportunities that came their way where Salcombe just couldn't quite turn their considerable territorial and possession advantage into points.
Salcombe played well against the side that is looking like the standout club in the league and showed they meant business from the start securing the ball from the kick off and rumbling through a number of phases to set up camp in the Wessex 22. But the home side's defence was well organised and no amount of battering away produced a result. In contrast a rare excursion into Crab's territory by Wessex produced a well worked try for them which they converted.
Salcombe once again used their considerable superiority in the pack to set up field position with Jez Foster, Sam Viles and Scott Lowry all making a welcome return and adding a solidity to proceedings that was missing last week. Indeed Viles at hooker took several against the head as he and Foster ably assisted by the ever reliable Chris Winzer at loose head looked capable of dealing with the Wessex set piece without the assistance of their back five colleagues. The Crabs reward was a penalty calmly knocked over by Mark Lidstone deputising for Chris Drew to bring the score to 7-3 to Wessex. However another breakaway by Wessex saw them get another converted try to leave the score at hlaf time at 14-3 to Wessex.
The second half went much as the first and with plenty of ball from all areas of play Lidstone was able to distribute the ball judiciously so that Liam Wills, Rupert Bevan and Darren Hopkins all had good runs but throughout the Wessex defence held firm. In defence the backs were solid with James Williamson and Ian Smerdon in unfamiliar positions on the wings being particularly prominent in the tackling department. In the loose Sean Baker, Scott Lowry and Chris Winzer all carried well and it was disappointing that Wessex managed another try wide out to bring up the final score.
Next week its a return to league action with the 1s entertaining New Cross at Twomeads, ko 2.30, while the 2s travel to play Paignton 3s at 2.30.
