No game for the Cornish Pirates this week, they return to action on Armistice Day with their opening game in the new Championship Cup against Bedford Blues at the Mennaye.

Redruth travelled to Old Albanian in National League 2 but couldn’t put a stop to their mini run of defeats losing for the third game running this time by 27-10.

The Redruth points came from a Richie Kevern penalty and conversion of Tom Notman’s second half try.

In London 1 South, another difficult afternoon for London Cornish as they slipped to another defeat on the road 29-12 at Chichester. Sam Vaughan bagged both tries with Dan Phoenix adding a conversion.
