Plymouth College U15s through to next round of West Devon Cup
Published: 03 November, 2011
Plymouth College under 15s have secured another good result by
beating a spirited St Boniface College in the West Devon Cup.
For the first 10 minutes Plymouth College played some excellent
rugby - scrummaged, rucked and mauled well - and played with
confidence and went through their phases. From an attack on the
left hand side of the pitch, quick hands led to Tom Bedford scoring
with almost his first touch just to the right of the posts. Simple,
good rugby in what were difficult wet and blustery conditions.
Unfortunately Tom Dinnis missed the conversion! St Boniface then
came back and just before half time scored a try and a superb
conversion made it 7-5 at half time to St Boniface.
Against the wind in the second half Plymouth College made it
difficult for themselves before Tom Dinnis intercepted a pass when
St Boniface were trying to force the game and scored under the
posts. He kicked the conversion this time! Shortly afterwards, with
renewed confidence and after a great move started by Sashin
Gurung's mazy run followed by quick hands again, Paul Habib
finished off by scoring in the top corner. Against the elements,
Tom Dinnis missed the conversion from the touchline.
As hard as St Boniface pressed, Plymouth College's defence held
good and as it became increasingly dark the final whistle arrived
Plymouth College running out winners 7-17.
