Western Times: Monday 11th December 1893

Newport v. Newton: This return match was played on the Teign marshes at Newton on Saturday before only a moderate attendance. Newton was without Windsor, Donkin and Jackson, but the vacancies were filled by the inclusion of Taylor of Newton College, and Pinsent. Newport kicked off against the sun and wind … (description of game) … Positions being reversed Newton acted on the aggressive in which Taylor took a prominent part but Morris intercepting dribbled to the home territory, where a lot of scrambling play was witnessed. Pinsent was severely pressed but came through the ordeal in fine style until passing between Webbe and Jones resulted in the latter getting in. … Nothing further occurred, and the game thus ended in favour of Newport by a goal and two tries to one try.
