Exeter University RFC

54 - 12

(HT 26-5)

Launceston Rugby Club Limited

54 - 12

The CABs travelled the short distance to the Topsham Rd Sports Ground to take on one of the SW Premier top teams. It was a pleasure to give debuts to Gary Gynn, Alfie Lang & Tom Bottoms. As with any University team you’re never sure as to which team you will be squaring up to; the squad that played against Cullompton, the previous weekend, or the BUCS 1st XV squad that played against Plymouth a fortnight ago. Needless to say it was the latter!! 

For Launceston it was a case of staying together in defence as long as possible & then try and turn any scraps of possession into something more substantial. Although the score line was fair reflection on respective team’s ability to convert opportunities & sustain pressure a few missed straightforward tackles, a charge down in injury time of the first half & an interception gave the Uni some frustrating easy scores. Try scorers for CABs were Martin Kneebone & the returning Rory Cinnamond.

Many thanks to everyone who travelled & witnessed to boys give all they had from minute 1-80 against a far superior team
