Salcombe faced their age-old rivals Kingsbridge in the annual Boxing Day derby, a cherished tradition that has been celebrated for over a century. Despite last year's triumphant win at home, this year, the game didn't go Salcombe's way, ending in a 41-0 loss. However, the score doesn't reflect the intense battle on the field, with Kingsbridge under immense pressure during the first 20 minutes. A few unfortunate mistakes allowed the home side to capitalize and take the lead.
It was heartwarming to see so many dedicated supporters travel to cheer for the team in red, their voices raising the roof in unwavering support. Once the game concluded, the spirit of camaraderie continued as players and fans alike shared beers and congratulations, and festivities carried on into the night, with many squad members visiting the local ale house in town.
Despite the result, it was a great day filled with community and celebration. Looking ahead, Salcombe is determined to return to their winning form as they prepare to face Plym Vic away. Your continued support would be greatly appreciated as we strive for victory! Let's bring that winning spirit back!
