Rugby: Totnes v Argyle: At Totnes on Saturday, before a moderate gate, a very pleasant game took place between Totnes and Plymouth Argyle team. The visitors started operations and attacked until Elias cleared and Hingston took play to the Argyle line … (discussion of game) … By combined forward work, however, the visitors forced Totnes to defend and from a scrum scored, but Coppin was unsuccessful with the conversion kick. Helped by a penalty, Totnes attacked for a while, but by loose forward work Argyle again forced play and Pinsent just stopped them in time. Play was on neutral ground, when time came. Score: Argyle, one try; Totnes, nil.

Ruby: Totnes v. Torquay Athletic: At Totnes before a poor attendance. … (detailed description of match includes) … Marley was clinking good at half, being a continual worry to his opponents, whilst the other backs also did well, especially E. Stoyle and his namesake. Pinsent, the full-back, frequently sent the invaders back with a powerful kick, but by quickening his movements he could much improve himself …

Totnes Weekly Times: Saturday 24th November 1900

Totnes had reason to be disappointed at the miserable attendance at such an important match as that with Plymouth last Saturday … (description of match) … Berry on several occasions was prominent and the whole line acquitted themselves admirably. Pinsent, at back, was somewhat slow at times but was sure and sent in long returns …

(elsewhere) … I don’t think I ever saw a wing three-quarter show more speed and dast than E. Stoyle. Searle was not a great way behind him. The centres, however, were unreliable, fortunately for Plymouth. The halves were also, but a moderate pair, Marley being perhaps the best, but Pinsent was a good serviceable full back. …

(another description elsewhere) … Totnes v. Plymouth: … a long pass from Stoyle to Tucker unable the visitors to clear. Pinsent, however, put Totnes on the attack again … … Marley intercepted, but Plymouth replied with a long kick, and Pinsent returning badly, Totnes defended. … … Totnes were penalized after the kickout, but play remained near the centre, until the home forwards took play to close quarters. Pinsent kicked over, and the visiting back missing, Knott touched down and claimed a try, but only a save was given. … … The mayor restarted, and Plymouth returned play to the centre. A good round of passing put Plymouth on the offensive. Pinsent kicked out finely, and Conday failing to return, E. Stoyle reached the visitors’ quarters … (continues)

Totnes Carnival: Football Club Score a big Success: On Thursday Totnes held carnival – or at any rate, in the evening it seemed that all Totnes were, in some way or other participating in the effort to make the Football Carnival a big success. Of course the bulk of the townspeople acted in the capacity of spectators – and it is hoped, contributors to the funds  – but the fact remains that the event was a holiday evening, everything being favourable – except perhaps, the weather … (long description including that of the procession which included) … Mr. R. Pinsent as a clown mounted on a donkey, made free use of his inflated bladder, he being accompanied by Mr. G. E. Windeatt …

Pinsent kicked out well, and following a cross-kick by Tucker, G. Windeatt scored behind the uprights. Pinsent converted. …
