Match Report by Justin Nuttall
Dartmouth v Honiton
Honiton travelled to Dartmouth to provide the opposition for them on their vice presidents day.
Honiton kicked off and some early strong tackling saw Honiton force a mistake and have the first scrum of the game, the ball went left then recycled back right. A good line from Finn Parratt saw him offload to the supporting Jack Madge to scythe first try of the game, converted by Johnny House 0-7.
The kick off went straight out, the resulting scrum was a bit scrappy from the Ton but a break from Rhys Phillips saw the ball finish in Finn Lowman’s hands who forced himself over wide right, 0-12.
Ben Kidson carried on his try scoring form when good work from the forwards saw the ball spun wide left, Johnny House added the extras 0-19.
Almost from kick off Ben Kidson got his second try under the posts, Tom Plance had a strong carry before the ball went wide down the line, converted 0-26.
The away side were being completely dominant and Finn Parratt got over from short range after the forwards had recycled the ball well, converted 0-33.
The next ten minutes were less busy for the scoreboard man but just before half time Finn Lowman got his second following a smart break from Rhys Phillips, the conversion drifted wide 0-38.
The next try soon followed, Ben Spence saw the blind side was undefended and took his opportunity to run in unopposed, converted 0-45.
Honiton hit the half century with Finn Lowman getting his hat trick after a strong run from Rhys Phillips saw him brush off several defenders, 0-50 at halftime.
The home side struck first in the second half, their blindside flanker found a gap close to the line near the posts, the try was converted 7-50.
The home side were reduced to fourteen when their inside centre was yellow carded for a deliberate knock on.
From the penalty Honiton won the line out and ball off the top, Alfie Lang scored under the posts, 7-57.
The next try for the Ton came from front rower Laird Crevald who showed good strength to power over, converted by House 7-64.
A yellow card for the Dartmouth open side flanker for a professional foul saw them reduced to fourteen men again. This allowed Honiton to push into the Dartmouth twenty two. A couple of phases later, following a line out, saw skipper Johnny House jink through a gap to score, he converted his own try 7-71.
Johnny House got his second of the afternoon after a good break from Ben Kidson, Johnny converted again 7-78. The final whistle went and Honiton sealed a second successive victory.
Next week they entertain Tavistock at the Allhallows.
