A game of two halves loomed with the blustery conditions, with Withycombe preparing to batten down the hatches as they played into the wind in the first half. The old cliché never materialised though as the visitors went straight on the offensive.

Receiving the kickoff, Withycombe worked up the pitch, until Freddie Fraser made a decisive break before feeding Jack Pugsley who scored the opener.

At times Withycombe 's indiscipline cost them big as penalty kicks were carried by the massive winds into green and black territory, but the strong forward display at set piece negated the effect somewhat. Freddie Fraser was sent to the sin bin on twenty minutes as Newquay snatched three points, but Withycombe replied by scoring with 14 men.

A George Toomey break set Dave Richards in motion to feed "tugboat" Glenn Channing, who pinned his ears back to crash over.

Withycombe's next score would come from defending a lineout on their own 5 metre line. With the conditions dictating that just about every throw go to the front, the gigantic Jon Axon was a constant thorn in the side of Newquay, and no more so than on this occasion, when the subsequent maul from his steal set the stage for Glenn Channing to bust a hole in the defence on the 22 before offloading to Jack Pugsley who ran in untouched from 50 metres out. Pugsley then converted his own try to make it 17-3.

The four try bonus point was secured with the last act of the first half as Jon Axon made a delightful midfield half break and Freddie Fraser finished the job under the posts. Pugsley converted to give Withycombe a 24-3 halftime lead, all but unassailable should the wind keep up.

Another Channing-Pugsley connection early in the second half essentially secured the win, Withycombe able to sit back and enjoy the fruits of their first half labour, even if Glenn Channing's boot did occasionally overcook!

Newquay showed they still had some fight in them by scoring a workmanlike try to pull it back to 31-8, but the score was instantly cancelled out as a steal from the ensuing kickoff led to Freddie Fraser scoring an eye-catching individual try.

A slick backs move put George Toomey in for a late try before Andrei Toma hacked on a loose ball and just managed to get the ball down before it squirmed out of play. With the unbeaten league leaders Tiverton visiting Raleigh Park next week, a 40-point win in Cornwall is sure to raise eyebrows.
