WITH no First XV fixture for Crediton Rugby Club on Saturday, the Quins take centre stage at home in their Devon Second XV Shield semi-final against Ivybridge Seconds.

It is an All Pay gate as per the Devon RFU Competition Regulations.

The winners will play the final at Exeter Saracens or Torquay on Sunday, March 16.

The Third XV have an equally important Merit Table fixture against South Molton Seconds and a win will be needed to maintain the advantage that we have over the second placed team in the Merit Table.

The Colts travel to Barnstaple in the Colts Cup Second Phase and will look to overturn the home defeat against Barum a few weeks ago.

Club Members will be saddened to learn of the death of former player Neil Orton at the age of 61.

Neil played from 1976 to 1987 from Colts through to the First XV, a total of 167 games for the Club scoring 36 tries. Our thoughts are with his family at this sad time.
