From the archives was found this match programme from the 1960 Boxing Day Match against usual opponents OPMs but what is quite remarkable is that it was one of 4 matches taking place that day at Bickleigh Down.In the morning the 1st XV and A XV of the two clubs met with Argaum running out winners in both, 8-3 and 6-0 respectively. In the afternoon there was a match between the Colts and an Exiles side, made up of players from schools both local and afar, Argaum again victorious by 6 points to nil. The Bickleigh Down side couldn't complete a clean sweep however as the Extra A XV, effectively the 3rd team lost 11-3 to local side Devisors, who were competing in their first season.
As if that wasnt enough, Argaum also had a match the following day against Old Bonifacians at the long since dissapeared PennyCross Stadium. The Old Boys side, which contained several Argaum players themselves, won by 10 unanswered points. A full roundup of the very busy Christmas programme, 7 games in all, is contained in the press report included in this article.
