The weather held fair until the end of the game, but a weary Totnes were unable to make pressure tell after an exhilarating Cup Final Match on Borough Park.
 
The town turned up in their hundreds to watch Totnes Chiefs try and win the Landscape Devon Junior Cup. The opponents on the day Wessex brought down a coach load of supporters and plenty of others made their own way to a blustery cold Borough Park.
 
However things soon warmed up on the pitch. The crowd already having seen a wonderful exhibition match of rugby between a combination of  Totnes U13's, 14's and 15's, were soon cheering and applauding both senior sides as the game ebbed and flowed through an electric first 15 minutes. Wessex were the first to get points on the board with a well taken penalty, but Totnes came straight back and replied with a Chris Hooper classic, which bisected the uprights which sent a huge cheer around the park. This was soon followed up wit another effort with similar results.
 
Continued pressure from Totnes seem to have the visitors on the ropes, and after a period of prolonged pressure on the visitors 22, saw fly half Andy Rive surge through the opposition line to score the first try of the game near the posts. Once again Hooper took aim and nailed the conversion to give Totnes a 13 points to 3 lead at the break.
 
The restart of the second half saw the Totnes Captain Lex Keen leave the pitch with a nasty looking ankle injury, to be replaced by veteran lock Paddy Townsend.
The visitors with the winfd at their backs used the elements well, relieving pressure on themselves with huge booming kicks deep in to the Totnes half. Ollie Tregelles the Totnes full back was unflappable in defence and took some impressive catches, and his strong running invariably tookthe ball back into the Wessex half.
 
Wessex showed a steely determination, and slowly forced theire way back into the game, savging well on th efloor, and pressrising both the Totnes lineout and scrum. The turning point came when Totnes once again commited their backline to another attack on the opposition 22 , when Wessex managed to turn th eball over at a ruck and quick hands saw the ball pased out to the right wing, who in turn ran the length of the pitch unchallenged by the Totnes defence.
 
A penatly and a superbly taken drop goal taken by the Wessex fly half suddenly saw Wessex in the lead with 15 minutes remaning. totnes battled hard and hammered away at the opposition try line, but although their were opportunites Totnes were unable to get a final score to seal the win.
 
After the game the presentation of the Devon Junior Cup and the Havell Shield were made on the Pavillions balcony, and both sides had the oportunity to swap tales with their opposite number in the marquee outside the clubhouse.
 
Totnes Rugby Club would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone in the town who came down to watch on the day, and all the sponsors and club personnel who worked so hard to put on all the facilities on the day. Even though Totnes were unable to secure the double, they did become Devon Champions, having secured the Top spot in the league program, and will now play  rugby in the Devon and Cornwall league next season.
