Punching holes in leather is hard work!

Fly-half Jake Murphy about to set up Barnstaple's match-winning try against West Country rivals Redruth in rugby union's National League Division Two South. Scorer Winston James, Barum's blindside flanker, is on Murphy's right, waiting for his team-mate to deliver the killer pass. Barnstaple had led 17-0 towards the end of the first half at Pottington Road before falling 24-17 behind. But an 80th-minute try got them to within two points of the Cornish visitors then James's last-gasp effort sealed a memorable win. Redruth were left to regret three separate sin-binnings: in the 24th, 26th and 27th minutes.

On the old road from Barnstaple to Braunton a listing milestone marked with the Medieval Latin inscription of BARUM. As at August 2011 this stone is currently feared broken and is being investigated by the Milestone Society and Devon County Council.
