Injuries and unavailabilities plus a players trip to Prague organised for this originally blank weekend meant Okes were struggling for players. They competed throughout but came up short against a Teigns side fighting for survival.

Okes began down the slope and struck early with a Luke Simmons penalty. Teigns responded and using their direct one out tactics they scored an unconverted try of their own from close range. Okes scrum was decent but with both hookers away it was not a surprise that the lineout was an ineffective mess throughout. The hosts did regain the lead at the quarter hour mark. Saul Holliday, playing at number eight, picked up from a five meter scrum and forced his way over. Simmons converted to make it 10-5.

Despite winning plenty of ball, Okes lacked any cutting edge throughout, not a real shock give their makeshift backline. The visitors were more clinical and using their forwards to batter around the fringes from close rage they scored two more copy and paste tries to go in at the interval with a 19-10 advantage,

Okes lost Sonny Luxton to injury in the first forty and brought all subs on as injuries mounted. They still had plenty of ball but Teigns took their chances as they added another penalty and yet another forward drive score to stretch their lead to nineteen points at 29-10.

The home side rallied in the last ten minutes to gain two more scores of their own, but it never looked like they would snatch a win. Firstly Callum Arnold powered over, but the bang in front conversion crucially bounced back off of an upright. Then a Simmons cross kick allowed Oscar Bridger to score in clubhouse corner.

Although under pressure the visitors held out for a valuable win in their fight against relegation whilst Okes poor run continued. Although with such mitigating circumstances there will be no panic.
Although players can't return soon enough to get the Okes back to winning ways. next Saturday seesthe visit of another side battling the drop in N abbot. KO 2.30 PM,

'Come On You Okes!'
