On Saturday’s trip up the M5 to Taunton, who are set to field new signing Ollie Devoto.
Davy McGregor comments
"The Boys are going to have to step up to the mark. If we want to get promotion in two or three years, then that is the level we’ll be playing at.
I’m sure Taunton will be looking to get what they can out of it. For us, we don’t really care about the score, but we’ve got our own little goals which are very achievable."
“The main thing is that the boys don’t play the game on the bus on the way up. Yes, Taunton are a great side, but at the end of the day it is just 15 blokes v 15 blokes."
“It is a great opportunity and there’s a cider-fest as well so the boys will have a bus trip and enjoy it.”

Ivybridge have seen experienced players like Charlie Briant, Ben Watts and Tom Scoles retire during the summer, while captain Sam Furse has moved away from the area, but the club have had young players like Joe Owen, Elliott Horsfield, Michael Jenson and Harry Towle come in, while Matt Finn has returned from Plymstock Oaks and Chey Bryce has also joined him in making the move from Horsham Fields to Cross-in-Hand. Also last years colts James Cantin and Ben Winters.

“Absolute respect to those lads that have stepped away,” said McGregor. “There was a lot of pressure on them to be performing every week and now it is up to other boys to take up that mantel and for them to be the experienced ones.”
“What we are trying to do is that anyone who comes into the club buys into what we do.

“What is nice is that lads are coming in knowing that they might not be playing first team rugby and might not even be playing second team. We have a squad now of 56 and have had 44 training on average every week so they know they are not all going to get picked, yet are still turning up, which can only be beneficial.”
