Credion - Home (Won)

Game1 - Exeter Saracens (45 -v- 0) Crediton
The first match saw Sarries off to a flyer with Edward Clemo Crosby, Nathan Smeath and Jimmy Knight attacking Crediton defensive line. With Just three minutes gone Tom Ellis scored from a ruck five yards out from the Crediton line. This set the scene for the match with Crediton finding it hard to get into their stride under constant pressure from a well drilled Sarries pack. This was no walk over however and Crediton made Sarries fight for every inch of their gain with Ethan Pearse and Barney Ames doing some good ripping in the maul. They were backed up by some spirited running of the break by Owen Twigg and Fred Peck. At the final whistle however Sarries flair particularly in passing down the line and some great tackling by Rob Lancaster won through with trys from Edward Clemo Crosby(2) Tom Ellis(2) Tyler Hickman(2) Nathan Smeath(2) and Jimmy Knight(1). Bill Taylor (Sarries) assisted the Crediton back line.

Game2 - Exeter Saracens (20 -v- 10) Crediton

Good loose play then followed to the end of the half with both Lewis Terry and Owen Twigg playing large in the maul. There then followed trys for Sarries by Alexi Holmes (two more) and Bradley White. In the final seconds of the match a ferocious maul precipitated an equally hard fought ruck on the Sarries five yard line. This was contested until Barney Ames went over for Crediton.
