Devonport Services claim victory at Plymouth RFC Heineken 10'S Rugby Festival

Victorious Devonport captain, Troy Gordon, said: "It's been a fantastic tournament for us and great for pre-season training. The whole tournament has been played with great spirit but we've had some tough games so are really pleased to come out on top. It's been a lot of fun and a great day for all involved."

Tournament organiser Rob Masters said, "We've seen some great rugby here at Plymouth today and it's been fun tournament for all involved. Thanks to Heineken for making this great tournament possible and we hope to see it here again next year."

Iain Johnson, captain of the plate winners, agreed: "It's been a cracking day and great to see local teams in the final. We have a lot of youngsters so it was good to give them a chance of playing some great rugby, they all stepped up well and I think we played with enthusiasm. We've been working hard in pre-season training and it's good to see that pay off. Thanks to Heineken for putting on such a great tournament."
