Match Report

Author:  Phil McConnell

Date:  2 Mar 2017

With this resounding win, Newton Abbot have deservedly won the Division 1 Championship for 2016-17.

Looking at the score doesn't tell the full story however. The Newton Abbot players were kind enough to say that South Hams, despite being out-graded by the massive margin of 104, put up a good fight on all four boards. Four close games, with South Hams having opporunities in each of them, and three of them going close to wire in terms of time.

In the end, however, superiority told. Many congratulations to the 2016-17 Torbay League Divison 1 Champions.
