Tribute Devon Two

Ilfracombe 5

Dartmouth kept pace with rivals Sal­combe, one place above them in third, with this bonus point-win over north Devon's Ilfracombe.

The two sides are neck and neck on 19 points each in the league, with Salcombe claiming third due to a better points difference.

This was an impressive display by Dartmouth, with tries from Richard Lobb, Karl Caunter and Rory Shillabeer doing the damage.

The Riversiders now have to wait until January 10 before their next league fixture, when they take on Plympton Victoria.

This will be a game the Dartmouth coaches will target maximum pooints from, as the struggling Plym Vics conceded more than 100 points to Salcombe last weekend.
