Torquay
were bullied and battered by an All White XV that
kept their noses just far enough ahead of their hosts
to gain early Bay Bragging rights after this first
local derby of the season. Torquay had much
possession and territory, but failed to convert their
many half chances. Newton on the other hand had a
couple of sniffs of the line and took them both
cleanly to bring a smile to the travelling contingent
of a bumper crowd at the final whistle....

Coach
Gary Willis was happy that the Tics improved as the
80 wore on, but he has equally seen early areas for
improvement! The side can look forward to tough
drills to reduce the turn-over rate, especially wider

in the 2008/9 League campaign and will surely hold
their own, if they can secure enough possession.
Torquay will be pleased that they never really looked
in any bother though, and now look forward to their
first away trip to Clevedon next weekend....

toppers going into the first local derby of the
season vs Newton Abbot next weekend at the

Torquay
scrapped hard and will think that the result was at
least a bit flattering to their well drilled
visitors. Notably an interception pass lost whilst
the Tics were pressing the Warriors’ line was a
particularly bitter concede...
