Neither of the two senior Kingsbridge teams had matches last weekend. The 1st XV enjoyed a planned week off from league fixtures whilst the A XV had been scheduled to play a friendly at home to Plymouth-based OPM’s. The visitors however withdrew from the fixture on Friday evening, leaving the Kingsbridge ‘twos’ without a match. [...]

Kingsbridge Colts 20 v 17 Torquay Colts With the league action waiting to start in two weeks, Torquay kindly filled the fixture with Kingsbridge and what a closely contested game it turned out to be. The early stages saw both teams contesting all areas of the game with some vigour. The scrummages were evenly contested, [...]

Kingsbridge U13 53 Totnes U13 5 This was a much improved defensive display from Kings and there were good performances from all the players. Kings had only sixteen players available for Sundays match against Totnes, which meant a couple of players had to move out of their familiar positions but this didn’t seem to make [...]

Kingsbridge U9′s 20 v 10 Totnes U9′s Kingsbridge enjoyed their first meeting with Totnes in a well contested match away from home. Alex Sheridan fulfilled his role at prop, tackling well and clearing out rucks alongside Troy Kibbler. Henry Blake took care of a lot of the ground work, taking four Totnes players to drive [...]

Kingsbridge U10′s 65 v 5 Totnes U10′s It was a perfect day for running rugby and King’s produced their best performance of the season. Archie Walwyn had an excellent game ripping the ball off the opposition and with Ben Longley and Harrison Wood managed to produce good ball that enabled our backs to pass and [...]

Sidmouth U14’s 17 – Kingsbridge U14’s 12 Since losing to Sidmouth 52-12 last season, Kings had eagerly awaited this fixture against one of the best teams in their age group. The game was slow to start with each team looking nervous, but King’s confidence grew and they began to dominate the half in both and [...]

Kingsbridge U15 69 – Totnes U15 0. Winners don’t doubt, and Doubters don’t win. The Kingsbridge U15 side have a level of self-belief that make them extremely difficult opposition to play. That’s a truth beyond any doubt. This local derby game proved to be a one-sided affair. From the outset, the large Totnes forwards were [...]

Totnes U7 – 11 Kingsbridge U7 – 11 Another game on the road was played in sunny conditions, but slippery underfoot. Kingsbridge support running was very strong with Harrison Scott, Henry Howells and Archie MacKenzie linking up magically to all score a try a piece. Against a sturdy Totnes attack the dogged defending of Luke [...]

KRFC U12’s 28 – TOTNES 12’s 7 Kingsbridge travelled to Totnes on a beautiful sunny morning, perfect for running rugby. From the start it was clear that Kings would be up against it looking at the size advantage of the Totnes players. However this did not deter the spirit of the tigers from Kingsbridge and [...]

Exeter Saracens 2 xv 13 pts Kingsbridge Axv 17pts Kings were slow to start in this game as from the kick off it looked like it was going to be a lethargic display, however after the first few minutes Kings came to life with a great snatch from Ben Waller and the following maul could [...]
