Crediton keep up the chase with a 38 points to 19 victory over Wadebridge Camels at Exhibition road and Cullompton had a narrow 16-15 win over Cornish side Truro at Stafford Park but Teignmouth were beaten 21-18 at North Petherton .

In Counties one Western West Tiverton's improved form continued with a  46-0 victory in Cornwall over Falmouth while in Counties two Devon Withycombe, Honiton and Exeter Saracens games were all postponed and in Counties  Devon north and east there was just one fixture with Teignmouth seconds and Sidmouth Quins drawing 10 points each at Bitton Park.
