Honiton travelled down to Devonport to take on the league leaders Devonport Services II.
Early exchanges were pretty even then a good build up and good hands out wide released Coutts Tucker to score in the corner. Jonny House kicks the conversion from out wide.
Services come back strongly with some sustained pressure and despite resolute defence they eventually score out wide, the conversion was missed 5-7.
Ton take the initiative and think they’ve scored but it’s given as held up.
A great break from Baily secured front foot ball, Charlie Wright breaks up the middle and Spence cantered in under the post, the conversion was kicked 5-14 .
Back come Devonport and a bit of pressure sees them score out wide. 10-14.
An offside gives Honiton a shot at goal but it’s missed.
Things get tasty with a big scuffle between the teams.
Despite the territory advantage to the Ton things are pretty even as we roll in to half time. 10-14.
Second half starts with most of the play in Services half.
Honiton start to dominate the scrum but it’s still pretty even Steven’s.
We demolish the Devonport scrum and see the Ton get a turn over. Kidson is hauled down just short, the ball is then spun wide and Tyers scores. House converts 10-21 .
Service regrouped and make inroads but it’s all pretty tight.
Services then work over from a good line out. 15-21.
End to end stuff then Services break out and camp in Honiton’s 22 . Squeaky bum time as we get near full time.
Honiton are hanging on but they manage to survive and win the game.
Final score 15-21.
Great entertainment… 7 wins on the bounce!
