Cullompton sealed their place at Twickenham after beating Berry Hill 27-20 in the semi-final of the EDF Senior Vase on Saturday.

Tries from Sam Harris, Jimba Bull and Paul Baker, as well as a penalty and conversion from Ross Toms, gave them a 20-0 lead at half time.

Two penalties from Aaron Rider closed the gap before Richard Dobbs' try made it 20-13.

But Greg Lock went over for Cullompton before a stoppage time consolation try.

Cullompton coach Charlie Mahon told BBC Radio Devon:

"It was a real nip and tuck affair and it went to the end as the result suggests.

"But probably on the day we just shaded it and deserved to win.

"The boys had a determination about them from winning the quarter-final game that this was an opportunity that we didn't want to let go."
