The Havill Plate was an annual rugby union knock-out competition organized by the Devon Rugby Football Union. It was first introduced during the 1971-72 season for clubs that were knocked out of the first round of the Devon Senior Cup with Ilfracombe being the first winners.[1] When the Devon Junior Cup was reintroduced for the 1986-87 season the plate would expand to include teams knocked out of the early rounds of the Junior Cup, until the plate was discontinued after the 1999 final.[2] The Devon RFU have reintroduced similar competitions in recent years although most have been discontinued due to a lack of interest.[3]
