Brilliant effort and result for the Dimonds today.
On a near full size pitch there was no excuse for not participating and they all rose to the challenge, even from 6 of our guys supporting and making a huge difference for Exeter Sarries.
From the off Honiton looked on top and with the fitness levels up from the summers training sessions, soon got on the scoreboard through some strong and straight running. The tries kept coming as a result of the expansive play seeing the backs working the ball through the hands at every opportunity.
As a result at the break the Dimonds were 5 tries up.
Playing down the slope in the second half the boys managed to score a sixth however stronger defence and attack especially from our boys helping out Sarries, kept further opportunities down and resulted in a consolation for Sarries
Final score 6-1 in Honiton’s favor
Great debut for TJ who got involved with some strong running and safe hands, and tries today for Josh, Fin, Louie and Eric.
MOTM for our 1st outing goes to Josh for laying down Tackle after tackle making impact in defence
Great to be back and well done boys
