Before the game against St Mary's , Brixham handed over the money raised on Boxing Day for Help For Heroes. David Gemmell and Rob McGovern accepted the cheque for £1200 from Chairman Chris Forster.

After the game, there was the normal Man of the Match presentation followed by the award of the Alakadoos Man of the Season to Kyle Browne

A sepecial award followed. Brixham presented a signed souvenir shirt to Mark Harvey. Mark has been a stalwart of the First XV over the years and is retiring at the end of this season. He has suffered from recurrent injuries and is to have an operation to sort this out.

In the Clubhouse, before the game against Sidmouth, Brixham had the opportunity to thank two sponsors for their generosity. Neck injuries, though not common, are potentially very serious and, thanks to Globe Marine, Brixham now have a specialist body-board stretcher with neck supports. Wilf Morton and Richard Cartwright from Globe presented this to Brixham Chairman Chris Forster.
Costcutter stores operate a scheme called Making a Difference - Locally whereby money is raised from specially promoted products and given to good causes in the local community. Steve Adams, from Costcutter, Pillar Avenue, nominated Brixham Youth Rugby as his latest recipient and presented a cheque for £1700 to Brixham Youth Chairman Steve Bryant.
Both Globe and Costcutter are long-standing supporters of the Club; the pitch-flags came from Globe while Costcutter sponsor Brixham Man of the Match awards. The Club is extremely grateful to both of them.

Dog fouling at Astley Park stinks
We regularly have to clear the top pitch of dog muck before junior and senior matches. The problem has now reached such a level that we have had to interrupt matches so that mess can be cleared from the pitch and. on the orders of referees, some matches had to be postponed altogether due to the amount of dog muck in the area.
There isn't any excuse for failing to pick up after a dog and all owners are encouraged to bag their dog's mess and get rid of it safely using a red dog bin, or a standard litter bin.
Anyone caught failing to pick up after their dog in Torbay may be issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice for £75. If someone chooses not to pay a Fixed Penalty Notice they may be fined up to £1000 in court for a dog fouling offence.

Boxing Day Rugby
supporting
HELP for HEROES

Brixham welcomed back players from near and far for their Club v Presidents XV match on Boxing Day. With a long history of players joining the Armed Services the Club used the occasion to raise money for Help for Heroes.
Despite the squally showers the two sides - comprised almost entirely of players who have graduated from Brixham Youth Rugby - produced a fast-paced and entertaining spectacle. With no league points to play for, this was not a match of set moves and tactical play but one of individual flair and enjoyment.
The final score was probably consigned to history shortly after the final whistle and while the result, a victory for the Presidents XV, might be remembered the more important outcome was the money raised.
The final total is likely to be well over £1200 and the Club are indebted to the players and referee for providing the entertainment; members of the Royal Naval Association who ran the bucket collection; the sponsors who provided the raffle prizes (St Austell Brewery and Marks & Spencers) and all the other helpers on the day.
