The Under 9s had two storming games on Sunday. Despite a very soft pitch there was nothing to slow them down. The tackling was relentless from both sides but Dartmouths handling and teamwork saw Dartmouth regain possession at the breakdown time and again. Combined with some superbly determined individual runs this resulted in every member of the team scoring one or more tries. The score of the first game was Dartmouth 40 - Brixham 0.
After a very short break Dartmouth was back on the pitch to face a fresh Newton Abbot side. Looking for revenge after their home defeat a month ago NA players were fast and showed good handling and tackling skills. NA had Darts back on their own line several times but were stopped from scoring by some great individual tackling from the Darts. Eventually some great running and passing by Dartmouth broke NA's defence, beating them Dartmouth 40 - Newton Abbot 5. The coaches and parents would I am sure like to congratulate the team on the most gutsey and skilled performance this team has ever produced. Well done boys.
