After last Saturdays rest day local rugby returns with Exmouth Cockles making the trip up the M5 to take on Gloucester side Drybrook in the Premier Division, hoping to keep up their recent winning run while league leaders Exeter University are also on the road when they visit Weston Super Mare.

In the South west Division One Sidmouth follow the Cockles up the motorway when they go to Thornbury but Crediton have a home fixture against Newent at Blagdon.

In the Western Counties League our three local sides are all away with Teignmouth making the trip to take on unbeaten leaders Wadebridge Camels, Tiverton go to Cornwall when they visit Truro while winless Honiton travel to Somerset side Wiveliscombe.

Finally in the Devon and Cornwall Division Withycombe have home advantage over visiting Newquay Hornets looking to reverse their heavy derby defeat two weeks ago while their victor's that day Topsham have a visit from Torquay Athletic to the Bonfire Field and with Cullompton hoping to keep the pressure up on the leading pack when Plymstock Albion Oaks come to Stafford Park.
