Jack Stead was the other try scorer for Brixham with Jordan Pillar and Lewis Greene strong in defence catching many tags. Jamie Rowe and Harry Castle covered well and stopped many advances managing to turn them into possession for the Fishermen's advances. Another well presented game adding to the improvements all round.
Ivybridge 9 Brixham 5
Another hard fought performance from the Brixham basic eight players on the day, Good running and support from the home side was evident throughout, however improvements from Brixham were also on show. Yet again Jenkins scored a hattrick showing his pace and skill and he was supported well by his team in this achievement.
