Western Times, Old Devon sport: wrestling and boxing matches at Crediton (1909)

OLD DEVON SPORT Wrestling and Boxing Matches at Crediton.

Great interest was manifested Saturday night at the Town in a wrestling match for £5 a side between Walter Roach and Bob Yeoman. The rules were Devonshire style. The strength and weight of Yeoman soon told on Roach, and the latter making a slip, Yeoman took instant advantage, throwing Roach a splendid back after 17 minutes’ play.
