Football: Colt’s Trial Match at Exeter: North v. South: This Afternoon: Congress may come, or Congress may go, but football goes on forever, with the slight exception of the close season prescribed by the Act of the Rugby Union. This notwithstanding the crowd which witnessed the Devon North v. South Colts cantering on the County Ground at Exeter this afternoon was not a record, except so far as the number of clergymen present (including the Rev. Rowland Hill) was concerned. … … (Pinsent – Newton, played as “back” for the South Colts) … … (description of game includes) … T. Harris and White led a rush for the South, Pinsent missing the ball rather badly, though with the ball going to touch, anything like disaster was averted … At the start of the second half the sun went down, and a little more vigour was through into the play. Green, on trying to get away, was smothered by Underhill, and North continued to have the best of matters from this point, Powell and Vicary being conspicuous among the forwards, Pinsent was eventually competing to save. … … North won … …

Totnes Weekly Times: Saturday 6th October 1894

Newton did very well on Saturday against Crediton, and their play showed an improvement in both front and rear divisions. … Pictor came out very prominently with his two tries being well earned. Elwell was also smart and Pearce ditto, whilst Harwood, a colt, has undoubtedly the making of a good three quarter if looked after. Pinsent kept up his reputation as back, and White was the best of the halves. … …

Football: Newton v. Crediton: Charming weather prevailed on Saturday when these teams met on Teign Marshes before a fair gate. Crediton have not got into their stride yet and had some difficulty in raising a team. Spreadbury was only able to get thirteen men, Labbett and Johns falling at the last moment. Furze of Newton Assisted them, the teams turning out as under: Newton: W. H Pinsent back; C. L. S. Elwell, V. S. Pictor, I. Pearce and J. Harwood, three-quarters; W. H. White and W. H. Couch, half-backs; C. B. Kay, W. G. Elliott, T. Burns, W. Francis, F. J. Sellicks (captain), R. Dunn, W. Baker and G. Cowley, Forwards: … … (description of the game includes) … … From a free kick to Newton the oval went over the Crediton goal line, Hutchings running it out and kicking into touch about fifteen years outside. Pinsent made a splendid attempt to drop a goal and ran through the Crediton three-quarters by feigning to pass. When he reached the back, Couch passed to Elwell, who scored. … … From the first scrum Sellicks scored the fifth try. Pinsent was called up to try the kick but was no more successful than the others. Half time then arrived …

Exeter and Plymouth Gazette: Monday 1st October 1894

Newton v. Crediton: At Newton on Saturday: Crediton, who arrived with two men short, were somewhat easily defeated by the home team by five tries. The visitors seemed scarcely to have settled down into working order, and were out-played from start to finish, both forward and back. Pictor scored two tries for Newton, and Sellicks, Kay, and Elwell one each. The first and fifth were the result of good play on the part of the forwards, and the remaining three were made by excellent passing by the outside men, notably Elwell, Pearse, and Pictor. Pinsent at back was in excellent form for Newton.

East and South Devon Advertiser: Saturday 29th September 1894

The most important point about the Newton and Devon Wanderers match on the Teign Marshes on Saturday was that Newton won by nine points. The weather, the greasy ball and the backward-in-coming-forward style of play of the Wanderers prevented the game reaching the height of perfection attained the previous week in the Bristol Match. Pinsent again played well at back and, on his present form, deserves a trial in the county matches. Both Pearse and Pictor worked hard, and Elwell was prominent all through. Cowley and Dunn did well in the pack. … … also … … Newton generally has a good match with Crediton, and this afternoon the teams meet on the Teign Marshes, kick-off at 3.30. The Newton team will be W. H. Pinsent, back; I. Pearse, C. L. S. Elwell, V. Pictor and J. Harwood, three-quarters; W. H. White and W. Couch, half-backs; F. J. Sellicks (captain), C. B. Kay, W. G. Elliott, W. Cowley, T. Burns, R. Dunn, W. Francis and W. Baker forwards.

Rugby Football: … Newton followed up their reverse at the hands of the Bristolians by a win over Devon Wanderers on Saturday at Teign Marshes. But it was a game of very poor description, through the state of the “leather.” Science was out of the question. But Newton played well, especially forward, where there are to be found some good men. Elwell was in a very fair form, and Pearce and Pictor, as usual, did the lion’s share of the work. Pinsent, (who always was smart as a custodian when at the College) was a “treat” at back. … continues …
