On a very cold and windy day, Devon and Kent lined up for what would be a brilliant U20’s match.

Within a minute Devon kicked a penalty, 4 minutes later Kent scored a try, then another Devon penalty kick then a Devon Try.  15 minutes into the game saw the score 13 to 5.  On the 21^st Minute there was an excellent Tom Daley dive off side from Kent, but Devon failed to kick the penalty between the posts, but within a minute there was an error in the Kent defence and Devon scored a Try, then 5 minutes later Kent scored bringing the totals to 20 to 10.  The 34^th Minute saw a shoulder charge by one of the kent players, which knocked all the bells out of Devon No. 6 – ref judged that hands had been used.  The 40^th minute another penalty for Devon saw the half time score at Devon 23, Kent 10

Half time changes:

Kent    Off No. 3 R Conlon (Westcombe Park), On No. 22 D Pender (Gravesend)

Devon Off No. 4 M Reynolds (Exmouth), On No. 20 C Coutier (Sidmouth)

            Off No. 6 T Burt (Devonport Services), On No. 19 H Coles (Ivybridge)

The second half saw the weather get colder and the wind get stronger.  44^th Minute saw Kent run in a try (coverted) and then 5 minutes later another Kent try (converted), scores close at 23 to 24.  The 52^nd minute saw Devon 21 G Varano (Bicton College) come on to replace no 3 A Gale (Newton Abbot). 6 minutes later nire Devon replacements no 14 J Tolan (Ivybridge) was replaced by No. 18 J Anderton (Ivybridge)

The 61^st minute saw total carnage on the field, bodies everywhere, heavy tackles, cramps and a small Kent handbag was shown to a Devon player, but luckily the Devon player just gave the look that said ‘is that it’ and play resumed.  66^th minute saw a devon penalty kicked over, 71^st Minute Kent came back with a penalty kick that bounced off the post.  Kent 18 J Reason (Blackheath) came on for no 1 A Wake-Amith (Canterbury), then after a few seconds Kent 18 realised that the shorts he had were about 3 sizes too small, so one of the othe kent players proceed in removing his shorts, showing some nice red & black snuggly undies, good Man to do this as it was freezing out there.  About a minute after this ‘brief exposure’ kent ran in a try (converted) taking the score to 26 to 31.  Devon 18 J Anderton (Ivybridge) came off with a bad shoulder injury , replaced by - well this is where the replacement didn’t have a shirt so he wore No. 3 – so could have been one of the last 3 replacements J Morgan (Ivybridge), A Pike (Tiverton) or A Sendarayi (Sidmouth).  Kent also took off No. 7 J Liston (Canterbury) to be replaced by16 O White (Blackheath).  In the dying seconds of the game Kent were awarded a penalty in their half, about a foot away from the half way line - the kick was brilliant – soared between the posts Brining the full time score to Devon 26 Kent 34
