Blakeman hat-trick caps a fine day for dominant All Whites

NEWTON Abbot U9s recorded two comfortable victories over Exeter U9s at Rackerhayes, starting with a 20-0 success.

Olly Blakeman opened the scoring, and his try was swiftly followed by Harry Langabeer crossing the line.

Alfie Raynor put Newton 15-0 up with a trademark score from distance, and Tom Daly ran from his own line as he added a fourth try in the second half with no reply from Exeter.

Newton once again started brightly in the second game and soon took an early lead through Hugo Longrigg.

Reuben Ash quickly doubled the score for the All Whites, only for Exeter to pull a try back after some lax defending by Newton.

The next two line-outs proved fruitful for Newton, as Langabeer and Harrison Gorny raced clear to score.

And a hat-trick of tries from Blakeman sealed victory for the All Whites, with Riley Hutchinson scoring the day’s final try in a 45-5 victory.

TORQUAY U9s came out on top 25-15 in an entertaining match against Teignmouth U9s.

A breakaway try from Louis Powell gave Torquay the lead after just five minutes, only for Teignmouth to hit back through Robert Seir.

Torquay once again took the lead through a try in the corner from Jake Harker, and added to their total thanks to a double from Josh Lovell.

Teignmouth hit back through Brad Breslan and William Annal, but James Alcock bagged a try to seal the victory for Torquay.

Within minutes Torquay were back in action once again, and it was almost a completely new side that took on the Stonehouse Sharks in the team’s second fixture of the day.

A hat-trick from Lovell was enough to seal a 20-15 victory.

Teignmouth were also successful as they rallied to defeat Stonehouse 25-10, thanks to tries from Ethan Harris, Breslan (2), Ethan Knobile and Jack Carden.
