COCKLES U16s confirmed their place in the Fishermans Cup Shield Final with a hard fought 36-15 win at Cullompton on Sunday.
The win cements their place as league winners following victories over Torquay, Paignton, Devonport & Bideford. Their only loss was to Topsham by 1 point back in November.
The final is to be played at Brixham RFC on Sunday 23rd April. The other Finalist to be confirmed.
The boys focus over the next few weeks will be slightly further afield with 12 players making it into Exeter Chiefs & DPP East (Developing Player Programme) squads for matches against Bristol & Bath. Well Done to all for their hard work getting this recognition.
Congratulations to Ollie Batson, Ned Brown & Freddie Barrow for making it into the U16s Chiefs Academy. Alongside Ollie Bennett, Charlie Freemantle, Rocca Hurley, George Bungard, Ryan Cotton, Jason Robertson, Ruban Chisling, Charlie Tate & Evan Keys-Smith for making it in to the DPP East Squad.
March also brings a first for the boys with their first overseas match when they head off to Holland for a 4 day rugby tour at the end of the month. Many thanks to all the kind sponsors, donators & volunteers for their hard work in making the tour happen.
We hope you can join us at the Final. More details to follow. Please see details regarding supporters coach travel.
