Sidmouth Under-10s were handsome 12 tries to one winners when they travelled to meet Withycombe for their latest action.
With both teams having good numbers for the game it was decided to play a contest of four quarters with regular rotation of substitutes.
The first quarter saw Sidmouth make a slow start and they made a number of mistakes which gave away easy opportunities. However, gradually the play became better and, with some excellent ripping of the ball, Sidmouth began to dominate and score a number of times.
The second quarter saw a vast change to the Sidmouth line-up, but the momentum was maintained and three further tries were scored thanks to some great open and enthusiastic encouragement from the coaching staff.
There was more of the same throughout the third quarter as the Sidmouth team grew in confidence.
