Pirates
U13s 12 Redruth U13s 10
26th October, 2008
On a wet and miserable
Sunday morning, the Pirates U13s came up against a well drilled and committed
Redruth side.
In a game that could have gone either way, the Pirates scored
tries through Lockran Williams and Asher Richards, with the latter converted by
Oliver Hallworth.
Before the break the 'Reds' had a player sin-binned for
making a high tackle. However, despite having numerical advantage the Pirates
were unable to add to their score.
In the second half the Pirates introduced
all of their replacements, as Redruth came storming back with two tries on their
own, but the home side held on with Hallworth's conversion proving the all important
and ultimately match winning score.
Man of the match for the Pirates was
lock Mike Wilson, who pleased the coaches for the effort he gave. As for points
to work on, tackling will head the agenda at this Friday's training, it important
to show improvement ahead of a tough game away to Penryn this coming Sunday.
