Leading perspective on Cornish rugby
BillEveryone is saying that it’s going to be even more important to win your home games in National League 2 South this season such is the tightness in playing abilities.
So it was good to see Redruth build on their good 2 points they got a Bournemouth last Saturday with a 26-14 win against Exmouth at the Rec.

BillWhat a great game of rugby between the Cornish Pirates and Ulster Ravens in the British & Irish Cup on Friday night down at the Mennaye.
The atmosphere was great just a shame that there was not more than around 1,350 to witness such a great advert for the B&I Cup.

Camborne made it back-to-back home wins witha five try win against a Cullompton side that until today had conceded just sixteen points during their opening three league games, reports Bill Hooper from the Recreation Ground.

BillSettled down to watch the Greene King IPA Championship Double Header from Sandy Park on Sunday.
What a cracking couple of game. First a great contest between Jersey and Plymouth Albion with the Devon boys pulling away in the end to win 41-27.
Good to see former Pirates Grant Pointer,
