Rugger: Newton v Torquay Wanderers: Newton on Saturday, though receiving substantial aid from Teignmouth, brought a by neans strong combination to the Torquay Recreation Ground to meet the Wanderers. Sides were on the whole well matched, and the home men, despite having the best of play, were beaten by one try and two minors, to a trio of minors. J. Scagell secured the try, but failed to convert. For the winners Mapleton’s kicks told immensely. Elliott and Parsons frequently led the forwards, and Pinsent played a safe back game. On the Wanderers’ side both Hawken and Horwell shone at half, White at three-quarters, and C. T. Davis, Coombes, and Martin (2) were amongst the forward contingent. The duties of referee were ably carried out by Mr. H. Terry, though a few of the players were somewhat confused by the new rules. …

Torquay Wanderers v Newton: About 200 spectators witnessed this match on the Torquay Recreation Ground Saturday. Though reinforced some Teignmouth players, Newton were very weak, being without Knight, Hewetson, Ingles, Challacombe, Lias, Sellicks, and Also. The teams were— Wanderers: H.  Lear (back) Weeks, White, Avery (3/4’s) Howell, Hawken (1/2s) C. T. Davis, Bond, Rix, Tucker, Gale, P. Martin, H. Martin, Coombes, G Stone (forwards). Newton: Pinsent (back); Mapleton, White, Francis (3/4s) Scagell, Ball (1/2s) Elliott, Hussey, Parsons, Inch, Hooper, J. Scagell, Williams, Kay, Lane (forwards) … Hawken kicked off with the sun his face; after brief scrum, Mapleton punted into touch. Martin ran into the Newton 25, where Weeks failed to drop a goal, and Pinsent saved. Play remained in the visitors’ half until they cleared with a rush to the dividing line. Smart passing and sprinting by Horwell and White gave the Wanderers another look in, but a long kick and some determined forward play changed the scene of hostilities, and the home team saved. Hawken wound up a pretty dribble with a kick into Pinsent’s hand, and he returned in fine style. A free kick to the Wanderers gave them a lot of ground, and Rix ran to the 25 flag, where Ball tackled. Scagell and Parsons by fine short passing took the play to the Wanderers’ preserves, and J. got in, but failed at the placekick. Good collaring enabled them defend their line, until Avery dribbled into neutral territory. A long punt by White and a united dribble carried the leather over the line, and Mapleton saved. Give-and-take work followed, and at half time play was in the centre. Re-started, and play entered Newton’s 25. White looked like scoring, but Pinsent pushed him into touch five yards from home. Newton dribbled past the halfway flag, Elliott leading but White cleverly saved, when the Newtonians appeared to have a clear field. After lot of scrumming Horwell made excellent tricky run well up. Subsequently Avery went in, but was whistled back. White kicked over, and Newtonians saved. Torquay returned to the attack, until Mapleton kicked over, and White replied, the last-named subsequently saving an ugly rush. Still playing forward, Lear saved in the nick of time. Scagell next got the ball away into touch near the 20 flag, afterwards sprinting and clearing one of the Wanderers with a leap. Bill took up the running and Lear could only guide the oval into touch in his own territory. Play remained here for some time, Newton on two or three occasions being very near scoring. A brisk but rather noisy game ended as follows: Newton, 1 try and 3 saves; Torquay, 3 saves.
