Despite
a number of their squad playing for the Pirates Amateurs, the Pirates Colts continued
their good start to the season with a hard fought win away to Falmouth. It was
a good chance for some of the younger members of the squad to get into the starting
line-up, and they did not let themselves or the team down..
With the Pirates
pack providing quality ball, it led to a well worked try in the corner for Kyle
Richards. The conversion from the touchline was not easy, but fly-half Kelvin
James' effort was successful, and it giving the young Pirates a 7-0 half-time
lead.
The Pirates went further ahead soon after the break when wing Daniel
Batten scored an unconverted try. However, when they took their foot off the pedal
Falmouth came back strongly and narrowed the deficit to just five points after
notching up a try and conversion of their own.
In a tight finish the Pirates
Colts rallied again, and were ultimately unlucky not secure a third try in the
game after the referee had adjudged a player to have been held up over the line.
