Chiefs go down fighting in Devon

Tribute South West Regional Two: Crediton 21pts, Wellington Chiefs 12

Despite another battling performance, Wellington Chiefs went down to defeat at Crediton yesterday (Saturday).

It all started so well as they turned in a great display to lead 12pts-7 at half-time.

The visitors went ahead after 12 minutes with an unconverted try by Jason Rowlands.

The dominant Chiefs extended their lead 15 minutes later as Arthur Burns-Cox went over for a try which was converted by Alex Davey.

Crediton hit back against the run of play with an unconverted try on the half-hour.

The hosts then took the lead after the break with a converted try before extending their advantage as a dropped pass led to another try with the extras again added.

That was the final score of the afternoon which the Chiefs will view as “one that got away” after a superb effort.

The Chiefs will be looking for their first win next Saturday when they are home to Penzance & Newlyn.
