Torquay Athletic v Totnes: … Totnes had a chance, but could not reach the ball in time, and play settled just above midfield. Pinsent did some smart work, and Totnes forwards took up the attack … White made a good effort to clear, and Windeatt and Tucker did some passing before Lark relieved brilliantly, with a kick to touch. Pinsent was brought down in possession below the centre, and then Endacott kicked into Totnes quarters, where there was some scrambling work … Totnes by good following up, reached the centre, from which they went with a determined rush to the Torquay quarters. Pinsent muffed a return, and the Athletes had a clear field but L. Stoyle kicked to touch … Harding kicked to touch at close quarters, and Cudmore dribbled over, but Pinsent kicked dead. The Athletes attacked again, but good following-up by Hooper, and L. Stoyle cleared. The visitors were given a “free” to which Pinsent failed to reply … The Athletes then raced away with practically a free field, but Tucker checked them, and Pinsent kicked back, and Scoble led an attack. … … A special word of praise is due to Pinsent whose defensive powers were severely tested. He played a very safe game and kicked well. He could not be blamed for either of the tries scored against his team. …
