Newton Abbot Colts 24 - Crediton Colts 12

CREDITON RFC Colts put in a really good performance and took a strong Newton side to the wire.

In a fairly physical encounter and with minutes to go, the game was still in the balance and we looked to have earned at least a losing bonus point.

However, with the final play of the game, the All Whites crossed for a try which sealed our fate and deprived us of that bonus point.

Prop Shay Wheeler and centre Charlie Cookson scored the Kirton tries with Jake Kibbey converting one.

On Saturday there is a full day of rugby, the First XV travel to bottom side Newton Abbot, the Quins host Cullompton Seconds, the Thirds are at home against Bideford Seconds whilst the Colts are at home against Barnstaple.

The Committee, Members and Players of Crediton RFC wish Courier staff and readers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy 2025.
