Salcombe First XV beat Buckfastleigh (7-3)
Devon Junior Plate
In a match dominated by a strong wind going diagonally across this exposed pitch the Crabs played with much greater urgency than last week and dominated this game for long periods. Indeed it was only occasionally that the home side broke out of their own half but their defence was superb and their ability to win the ball in a turnover kept Salcombe out. With Buckfastleigh's Steve Chappell always a danger if Salcombe conceded a penalty in their own half, the visitors discipline was good and he wasn't offered the chance to slot a three pointer until late into extra time.
Salcombe started off playing up the hill and against the wind and fairly easily contained the Buckfastleigh attacks,sufficiently so that there were hopes of Salcombe notching up a good few points in the second half. The home sides backs did not trouble the Crabs outsides where Chris Drew and Liam Wills at centre made their presence felt with some hard tackling. The main Buckfastleigh threat came from their large pack who liked nothing better than to rumble the ball but with the Crabs generally securing possession when they needed it nothing much was going to come from that. In the loose James Cooper and Ian Smerdon had great games and both secured a lot of lineout ball together with Sean Baker. Chris Winzer and Scott Lowry put in some punishing runs and Jez Foster made his mark by deciding to take on his opposite number of a similar size to Jez and picking him up bodily and dumping him back in the tackle.
The first half ended without score and likewise the second despite some excellent running from both the Salcombe wings Rupert Bevan and Darren Hopkins. Drew missed a couple of penalties in the difficult wind and normal time ended with Salcombe camped on the home side's line but kept out by a magnificent defence. The first period of extra time saw the Crabs playing up the hill again and a rare moment of indiscipline gave Chappell the chance Buckfastleigh had been waiting for to go three points up. Mark Lidstone combining coaching duties and playing well at no.10 urged Salcombe to be calm as they started the second period of extra time and with three minutes remaining the home defence eventually crumbled to allow Wills to go over for the try. Lowry stepped up for the difficult touchline conversion and banged it over with all the insouciance of a seasoned pro.
Salcombe deserved their win and while they made heavy weather of it the two sides know each other well and that combined with the wind made life difficult. Next week the 1s are away at promotion chasing Topsham in the league while the 2s entertain Topsham 2s at home. Both matches kick off at 2.30.
