Sport
Devonport has extensive facilities for sport, with professional, amateur and community
teams taking part.
Have a look at this list - how lucky are we? We have a county cricket ground, a
couple of outdoor swimming pools on the shorefront, a brand-new sports centre, two nationally respected
rugby clubs on our doorstep - and then there is our locally famous and
highly popular Devonport Boxing Club. Some links are below, the remainder to follow for each of these sports.
