CREDITON Rugby Club U10s played in their first ever competitive match at Blagdon on Sunday, September 19 against Teignmouth RFC.

Given the skill levels and enthusiasm on display it was hard to believe this was only their first time out!

The children, boys and girls, have been training hard and persevered through a Covid disrupted season last year, which meant they’ve never had the chance to play against another club.

In total 24 players arrived in trepidation on Sunday morning… however any pre-match nerves were soon banished.

They produced a lively and exciting performance with some mazy try scoring runs, slick passing, solid tackling and big trundles down the middle of the pitch.

It is impossible to single out any of the performances as they all played so very well.

Watch this space, this group of players could all be future rugby stars!

The team coaches are: Matt Cridge and Scott Baker.
