Exmouth’s Final RapidPlay Matches
March 24th, 2011 | 
Author: Exmouth completed its programme of matches in the Newman Cup, the rapidplay league, making it 4 matches in 8 days.
Tuesday saw Exmouth’s first visit to Exeter’s new premises at the Heavitree Social Club. It’s a little away from the city centre, but is in a quiet area with good parking and a roomy building with a bar where one can get liquid refreshment.
Exmouth’s hopes were not high in either match, as they were well short of the maximum permitted strength, an opinion confirmed by the results.
