plym VIC v SALCOMBE

8TH NOVEMBER 2025

After an enforced two-week break, Salcombe returned to action determined to carry their winning momentum on the road to Plympton Victoria.

Things didn’t start entirely to plan, as an early penalty just three minutes in gave Plym-Vic the first points of the game. However, Salcombe responded swiftly. Prop Matt Harvey dancing over for the visitors’ opening try and, stepping up in the absence of a dedicated kicker, eagerly attempted the conversion himself narrowly missing the mark.

From there, the floodgates opened. Salcombe’s attacking play was relentless, with John Squire crossing twice, alongside further tries from Alex Tuscher, debutant Jay Dean and early replacement full-back Charlie Rawlinson, giving the visitors a commanding lead at halftime.

The second half saw a spirited fightback from Plym-Vic, who scored two tries and converted one to narrow the gap. But Salcombe reasserted control through tries from Jasper Walter and captain Jay Hannaford, who took a quick tap penalty and bulldozed his way over the line.

The final try came from another quick tap, this time by hooker Toby Woods, who caught the defence napping, following an infringement that arguably warranted a penalty try, scrum-half Sam Wilkins casually added the extras with a neat drop kick.

Man of the match went to Alex Tuscher, for his all-round performance and attacking threat throughout the game.
