Over the course of December, fixtures were limited for the U15s. But there can be nothing other than praise for a group of players who are maturing and rapidly improving as we look to some return fixtures where we will only receive rewards.

Looking back on the fixtures which have been played, there have been some tough away trips to Kingsbridge and Totnes. Home games have seen some credible results;, beating Exeter Chiefs 38-19 at home isn't something which happens to every team. As the season passes its halfway point so far there have been a few outstanding performers: Callum Archibald, Sam Smith, Reid Mawdsley, and Edward Thomas. But the player of the month for December was Tom Stokes, a captain who has led from the front and been selected for the Devon School of Rugby programme.
