Brixham travel to Cinderford

From the archive, first published Wednesday 14th Jan 2004.

Brixham Rugby Club travel to Cinderford in the fifth round of the Powergen Intermediate Cup on Saturday, but will be light through injury problems.

Simon Mitchell has only just returned to work following a 2-month injury spell and is definitely unavailable, and there will be late fitness tests for Matthew Dempsey and Bevan Armitage. They will also be missing Phil Allen, who has to work.

Cinderford are old friends of the Torbay club's, and the last time the two teams met the reuslt went in favour of the Forest of Dean team 8-24.

Brixham, who lie second in the South West Two West Division, lost to Exmouth last weekend, and although they are pleased to have reached further in the Cup than ever before, their main aim is a good finish in the league.

This Sunday's Devon Independent will carry match report from this weekend's tie.
