Subject: Devon 3 - Argaum Chiefs 18 St Columba Torpoint 3

A win that takes Argaum to joint top of Devon 3 in what was generally an unsatisfying afternoon. The match was brought to a premature end when injuries to the referee, David Mason of Saltash, forced him to abandon the encounter after 62 minutes. Having passed the required 60 minutes however the result stood. With Andy Critchley, Paul Critchley and Simon Robertson unavailable the Chiefs once again showed their flexibility this season with captain Lee McDowell slotting in at hooker. Danny Morgan was welcomed back at full-back whilst Chris Curnow and Nigel Pinder returned to the pack. Argaum started poorly and made more mistakes in the first 10 minutes then they have in the previous 2 matches combined. Several penalties were conceded but St Columba could only convert one of those chance through Steve Rivett. Argaum gradually played their way out of trouble and Mike Louise, playing his best rugby for some time, went over in the corner for a try after a quickly taken throw in. Although the line-out wasn't functioning particularly well the home pack started to take a grip on the game in most other areas, once again dominating the scrummage. Pressure started to tell on Columba and Darren 'Sparky' Truscott barged his way over for a second try which completed the first half scoring. Turning around 10-3 up and playing down the slope you would have expected the Chiefs to rattle up the score, but the third (and final) quarter was a stop-start affair with the referee needing treatment on a number of occasions. From one of the few constructive passages of play Phil Hall was sent over in the bottom corner for his 5th try of the season after a quickly taken penalty. Argaum will probably feel they would have added to the scoreline had the match had gone the distance but at this stage of the season 2 league points is what matters most.
Argaum Chiefs: D.Morgan, Quickly, P.Morgan, Wills, Louise, Tomlinson, Tottman, Pinder, Hall, Foster, Clack, Curnow, Truscott, McDowell(c), Moulder.
