| Match Report: | The Chiefs started the better side and open up the scoring with a try touched down by a strong running number eight. This score shocked Honiton into action and from then on in Honiton had control. The back row trio were the key as they disrupted anything the opposition did and they also lead the way with the attacks. By half time Honiton were 28-5 to the good and really there was no way back for the aristocratic opponents. Honiton won the game because they are to be fare, a big scary out fit who run hard when they have the ball but they have also got the rare ability to pass the ball out of the tackles which is a good skill to have at this age. Wez Keywood, lead the way with four well taken tries followed closely by Richard Webber who weighed in with a hatrick and Usamah Elmaghdy got the final try to wind thigs up. Harry Wright had a good day with the boot kicking 7 out of 8 conversions which is a very good strike rate in anyone’s book. The Chiefs did battled hard and scored two second half tries but the reality was they were blown away by what was a great team effort from the Lacemen. The final score was 54-15. Several of the Honiton lads are also in the Devon squad and this emphatic cup run and victory just goes to prove you don’t have to go and join Exeter to play good rugby and maybe it will go some way to show that good rugby can some times be found playing for your local club with all your home grown mates. Well done to the coaching staff and all of the squad members you did your club and town Proud and at this age group we are well and truly on the map! |
