Newton Abbot marched on Astley Park, slightly under strength having lost Ben Rowntree and Joe Burford to injuries sustained against Torquay and missing Andy Birkett, who was unavailable.

However the squad system that coach Phil Burford has employed this season to great effect worked admirably.

Brixham took to the field looking determined enough. It was, however, the All Whites who got stuck into their hosts from the off.

Brixham were penalised at a ruck and Rich Hewitt stepped up and slotted the ensuing penalty to get the away side off to a flying start.

The All Whites continued to take the game to Brixham. Cane kept the pace moving in sticky conditions, and winger Neil Johns nearly went over after a slick move which saw centre Nick Holt begin a move from his own 22.

That move set the trend for the All Whites and from the resulting scrum Brixham did not clear properly and the All Whites ran it back through the forwards, working their way up into the home's side 22. Cane fed wide again to Holt and Johns, who this time popped an inside pass for captain Simon Mabin to thunder through and score. Hewitt converted well to make the score 10-0.

The hosts managed to get their hands on the ball and gradually got themselves back into the game, but they seemed to lack the clinical edge that the Brixham of old used to have. They did, howeve, make use of the All Whites' indiscipline with Ben Lovell helping himself to a penalty after 14 minutes to cut the score to 10-3, and before long he had cut the deficit to 10-6, again punishing the away team's indiscipline at the ruck.

Brixham enjoyed their best phase of the game leading up to half-time, time and again they drove up field, but were kept out by solid All White defence.

It was, however, the visitors who had the last word before the break. On a rare visit in to the Brixham half, a late tackle on Viskoper resulted on a kickable penalty, which Hewitt converted for a half-time lead of 13-6.

After the break ll Whites got back into their rhythm, Viskoper deputising at standoff used his boot to good effect and the visitors played the first 15 minutes camped in the Brixham half.

The pressure told in the end, the forwards could taste blood and hammered away at the Brixham line. Eventually, after a catch and drive, the pack drove over and up popped Mabin for his second try of the afternoon. Hewitt converted it to make the score 20-6.

Brixham pride still runs true, and back they came again and put together some quality passages of play. They used the slope well with Lovell kicking them into good positions.

They won a line-out and mauled their way to the line. At first the referee seemed to indicate a penalty to the All Whites, but he had, in fact, given a try to Brixham, with number eight Ryan Bradfield credited with the score. Lovell kicked the extras to make the score to 20-13.s.

Brixham pushed hard and they almost got their wish after an interception pass by Mike Saxton. He made up for his error by chasing down the Brixham player and tackling him, before the defence arrived in the nick of time and the danger was cleared.

The referee blew for full time the All Whites had recorded another win at Astley Park a happy hunting ground in recent years.

The win keeps the All Whites hot on the tail of Avonmouth Old Boys, who recorded an impressive win at Torquay.

Tomorrow, Newton Abbot return to Rackerhayes to face lowly Walcott Old Boys.
