Wiveliscombe continued their recent improved form with a well-deserved away victory against local neighbours Taunton. Playing on Taunton?s main pitch, Wiveliscombe started the game strongly with an early penalty and unconverted try from Grant Davey. The remainder of the half was evenly contested with Wiveliscombe just edging the share of possession. Taunton spent the first 10 minutes of the second half deep in the Wiveliscombe half, but were unable to break through their organised defence. Wiveliscombe regained control of the game, scoring two excellent tries from Dean Rawles and Lev Mustafa with Grant Davey converting both. This week Wiveliscombe entertain Kingsbridge, with the home side hoping to overturn a close defeat earlier in the season.
