Bideford 8
Okehampton 9
IN a closely fought match Okehampton came off best due mainly to excellent support play and being able to recycle to ball without giving away possession .
The match was captained by Alex who scored three tries and played some fantastic rugby.
There were a couple of outstanding performances, one by Adam who scored three tries and had a helping hand in a couple of others, and the other by Holly who each week shows the others how the basics are done properly.
William and Ethan both had good matches with some brilliant tagging and gave 100%.
The other try scorers were Holly, Christopher and Isaac.

OKEHAMPTON led from the front and allowed no space for the home side. There were a number of good plays by Okehampton but the pick of the day was the quick penalty taken by Llew, who passed to Finlay to run the length of the pitch to score in the corner.
The other scorers were Marcus (four tries), Joe (3), Llew and in his first match for Okehampton Jacob Luxton who scored after some great running.
The second match was captained by Llew whose rugby knowledge and tactical awareness belies his years.
There was some outstanding tagging by Okehampton but a special mention goes to Jeremy and Adam for their excellent support play. This week Okehampton are away at Bude.
