Falmouth are usually a tough proposition, and Withycombe had to summon the Corinthian spirit from the get-go. Luke Mingo's fantastic lineout take set the stage for a Withycombe rolling maul, which was manna from Heaven for Mike Richards who opened the scoring with his tenth try of the season. Both sides admirably tried to play good rugby in the wet, and Falmouth pounded at the Withycombe defence which held firm under considerable strain, and resisted the temptation of indulging in argy-bargy. The home side would be next to score when a set play from a scrum in the opposition 22 put Sam Conway away in the corner. Withycombe went in to the break 10-0 up with both sides lacking something of a finishing touch in attack.

In the second half Withycombe struggled to play rugby in the right areas of the field, with handling errors and some poor kicks allowing Falmouth to heap pressure on. This only served to showcase Withycombe's tireless and workmanlike defence though, and it eventually coughed up a try. John Parkin made two tackles on big forwards in succession, with a stray offload from the second one picked up by Adam Morris and gleefully returned 50 metres for a try in the corner.

Falmouth hit back with a converted try, but in the final quarter Withycombe controlled the game much better, pinning Falmouth into their own half and pressing hard for a bonus point try at the end. The front five had dominated all day and essentially set the platform from which Withycombe won the game. Owing to some clever ploys from the visiting pack, Withycombe's series of five metre scrums didn't yield a bonus point try, but Withycombe's Holy Trinity of fours was safe: their fourth win in four games elevated them to fourth in the league, with their eyes firmly on chasing down Crediton in third. Andrei Toma was awarded the man of the match accolade for his seemingly neverending tackle count, turning up everywhere Falmouth's talismanic number eight Sam Bailey did and refusing Falmouth front-foot ball. Basement boys Veor visit next weekend for a game which promises to be all fire and brimstone.
