Score: Withycombe RFC 36, Torquay Athletic 0

Following our first 'Sporting Lunch' of the season with guest speakers Chiefs legends Kai Horstmann & Carl Rimmer, the crowds packed out Clubhouse Corner and the sidelines for an equally as entertaining afternoon of action on the field.

Score: Newquay Hornets 23 - 14 Withycombe Raleigh

With the third away trip to the Duchy in a row approaching, the strong wind downfield would definitely need to be a key feature of the game.

Derby days always bring an extra level of pressure and excitement, and this was no different!

Right from the kick off, the Withy boys wanted to make a good account of themselves against high-flying Topsham, who score big each week and sit in second place.

Score: 13-6 Gloucester (HT), 16-13 Exeter (FT)

In a game where points proved to be at a premium, today's match became all about the action in the middle third of the field.

The opening quarter saw both sides exchange possession as they got used to the gusty wind. With this wind blowing in favour of the Withies, the boot of fly half Tom Cooke would be a key ingredient in making ground past the solid home defence.

It proved to be a very difficult match for the Exeter Chiefs today (Saturday 23 October) against London Irish.

A rocky start

Today's away fixture against Wasps was a brutal battle for the Chiefs as they only just scraped a 27-23 victory.

The first half

Two quick-fire tries in the first half proved key to remain unbeaten at home

With last week's last-minute heartbreak down in Cornwall still fresh in the minds of the players, it was key that the same mistakes weren't to be made again. However, with a fresh new shirt and a host of players coming back into the team from injury, there was a great opportunity to get the season back on track as they welcomed Tavistock to Raleigh Park.
