Salcombe 0-25 Brixham II

saturday 29th November 2025

It is always a bitter pill to swallow being nilled at home, and league leaders Brixham showed exactly why they sit at the top of the table this weekend. However, despite the scoreline, Salcombe can take some valuable lessons from the match. Against a team that have dismantled opponents by as many as 92 points this season, there is a kind of moral victory to be taken, this was the fixture in which Brixham recorded their lowest points tally.

A hard and fast Salcombe defence stifled much of the attacking play. Throughout the game, the hosts battled relentlessly and made Brixham fight for every metre gained. The determination and work rate on display were clear for all to see and will form a solid base to build on going forward.

Looking ahead, Salcombe will turn their attention to next week’s fixture against Totnes, where they will seek to rectify some of the recurring issues that have affected them in recent games. It is also an opportunity to bring home some silverware, with the 5 Handle Cup up for grabs. The Crabs will be hoping for strong travelling support as they go in search of a positive result.

The team would like to thank the club bar staff and the Victoria Inn for their excellent post-match hospitality.
