The East Devon Eagles were outpaced by a stronger more experienced Titans side on Wednesday night to drop to 2nd place in the league on points difference.

Titans opened the scoring 5 minutes into the game when following sloppy tackling by the Eagles defence, Titans Martin Browne ran in under the posts, Matt Titchias converting.

The Eagles held strong and there was some good interpassing between Ryan Hamilton, Rich Cadywould, Paul Morgan and Sam Heasman and Heasman was unlucky not the score when he was tackled into touch just short of the line. However the Eagles put their first score on the board after 20 minutes when captain Dave McCarthy picked up the ball from a ruck and dived over the line wide out, but the conversion was missed.

On the half hour, Titans Matt Titchias charged over under the posts, Jamie Shone converting and just before the half time whistle, Titchias scored his second try under the posts, Shone again converting. This left the Eagles 18-4 down at half time.

The Eagles were missing the tackles and Titans were now posing a threat to the Eagles side and they scored again early on when Ed Court ran through the Eagles defence to touchdown wide out, Shone converting.

For the next 20 minutes play was end to end but neither side were able to go over the line. On the half hour, Eagles Rich Cadywould picked up from the scrum and popped the ball inside for Jonny Boltrukiewicz to crash over for a touchdown wide out Cadywould adding the extra points and 5 minutes later Jack Downie was unlucky not to score when he failed to touch the ball down on the line.

With the minutes ticking away, the pressure was on but the final whistle came giving Titans the win 24 points to 10 points.
