There may have been nothing to play for but pride at the end of a long season but make no mistake this was a proper game of rugby where the result was always in the balance. The visitors from Gloucester 2 undoubtedly had indulged on the Friday night and Saturday morning but they were a very competent outfit (probably good Devon 1 equivalent) which made this a competitive encounter throughout.
