Kingsbridge & Salcombe HC 1s v Exeter 3s

ON A grey, miserable day that perfectly reflected the match, Kingsbridge & Salcombe 1s suffered a tough 7-0 defeat away to Exeter 3s. Despite a hard-fought effort from every player, the home side proved far too strong, dominating from start to finish.

With a number of key players unavailable and others still recovering from injuries, the squad was severely depleted. Thankfully, several players from the 2s kindly stepped up to help out, putting in a huge shift despite being thrown into the deep end.

Their commitment and effort were undeniable, but against a well-drilled Exeter side, it was always going to be a massive challenge.

Now to regroup, to rebuild and to go again. On to the next one. Huge thanks to the 2s players for stepping up, the effort didn't go unnoticed.
