Stayed in Devon...

If the "thin wallet" scenario of the Albion's future playing budget is to be believed, fans of the County scene may actually get a sneak preview of some of next year's players. The next three weekends are when the traditional end of season regional tournament is played out with the reward of a day at Twickers up for grabs. Devon, after multiple trips to the Cabbage Patch (and titles to boot) are still languishing in the second tier of the competition. Coached by Simon Morrell, their 2015 campaign didn't start well - they were beaten 38-13 by Cornwall at the Brickfields in Tuesday's Tamar Cup fixture.  

Here is the Devon fixture list this year is pretty favourable to the Plymouth-based fans. It's taken from the RFU site with a link to each club website. (Devon RFU's website has no venues, a dodgy date for the last game and absolutely no news at all...):

Sat 02 May

Somerset v Devon   14:30   Taunton RFC

Sat 16 May

Devon v North Midlands   15:00   Brixham RFC

Sat 23 May

Devon v Surrey   15:00   Okehampton RFC

Tickets for County games are often free, but check in advance to be sure if you're on a budget.

If your allegiance is to the Duchy, you're in familiar territory; Dawsie is in charge and you're in the upper level of the competition. You are going to have a bit more travelling, though:

Sat 02 May

Gloucestershire v Cornwall   15:00   Cinderford RFC

Sat 16 May

Kent v Cornwal   15:00   Gravesend RFC

Sat 23 May

Cornwall v Hertfordshire   15:00   Redruth RFC

Enjoy the rugby and report back on anyone who really impresses...
