Barnstaple v. Newton: (description of game also see below) … … The referee’s whistle then sounded at half-time. On reversing positions Newton more than held their own for a time, a run by Lias taking the play well into the Barum quarters, where he passed too late to Bearne. Penny replied with a kick to the half-way, and the Barum forwards breaking away were only stopped from scoring by Pinsent diverting the ball to touch close to his own line. A visitor next got in but was called back, and although Barnstaple continued to press nothing further was scored up to call of time, Newton thus winning by a try to nil. The teams were: Newton – Pinsent, back; Bearne, Walker, and Tozer, three-quarters; Elwill and Lias, halfbacks; Stitson, H. Scagell, Dunn, White, Rice, Broughton, Jackson, Elliott, and Williams, forwards. Barnstaple: T Lock, back; H. Stoyle, A Hannaford and Pictor three-quarters; Penny and Saxon, halves; H. F. Toller, A. Dalling, A. Arnold, A. Hill, R. Hayman, W.  Stevens, T.  Johns, E. Saxon, and Sly forwards.

(elsewhere) … Pinsent the back, played a plucky game and the three-quarters worked hard, Wollen and Windsor being the best. The half backs were both smart, Davies feeding particularly well. In the forward rank, O’Neill as usual distinguished himself in the dribbling line, and the others were very smart in their scrum work, in which they had the better of the opponents, who played four three-quarters and were thus somewhat weak in their forward rank …
