Newton v. Newton College: At the Teign Marshes on Saturday: College kicked off and immediately play was transferred to the Newton end. Here Lyle got away but was brought down by Pinsent. A scrum formed, from which Bearne secured, and rushed over, but was pushed into touch. On the kick out Boyle secured, and passed to Blacke, who was brought down by Pinsent. Newton rushed down the field, and Elliott scored near touch. Pinsent failed to convert, and half time arrived with Newton leading by a try. In the second half Bradbury scored a try, which was not converted, and Bearne followed this by scoring a further unconverted try. When time was nearly up Boyle rushed over and scored a further try for the College. Time was then called. Result: Newton College, three tries; Newton, one try.
