With the weekend calling, it’s time for the Withies to take to the road and head for mid-Devon to face South Molton in round 5 of the 2023/24 season.
Last weekend, Withy suffered their first defeat of the season with a close 27-31 loss at home to Barnstaple Athletic. A strong second half saw two tries from George Doughty, a try apiece for Joe Blyth & Callum Tose and seven additional points from Lewis Tose saw the boys earn themselves two league points to remain third.
Our hosts currently sit directly behind us in fourth after a 13-29 win against Ivybridge IIs in Cross-in-Hand.
Our sides met no less than four times last season, with two encounters during the main season, with both sides winning their respective away matches and then two further times in the Devon Junior Cup run. Withy won both games, with the boys, as we know, going on to the final to win against Torquay at the Recreation Ground.
Both sides have had a good, strong start to the season so this one could go either way… Withy will need to make sure of a rounded performance to come away with the points at Unicorn Park and maintain their impressive start to the league campaign.
Kick off in South Molton will be at 3pm and we hope to see as many as you come along to cheer on the boys. Your support really does make the difference!
