That was a very satisfactory outing: briefly up to 3rd in the Champ and could hold onto 4th spot depending on bonus points for the loser of Worcester-Nottingham at 5pm

Fantastic away victory with three tries from the backs in each half. Matty Ward and Arthur Relton added another one each in the second half and Harry Yates finished it off.

Tough opening match - hefty wind blowing straight from Newlyn End and all of the points were scored at the Penzance end. Unfortunately Hartpury scored one more point in the first half than we did in the second - so close to a memorable comeback.

Full time: Cornish Pirates 26-38 Bedford Blues. After a fairly structured first half (7-12 HT) there were a lot of changes and a flurry of tries later in the second. Looking forward to seeing Bedford back at the Mennaye for a competitive match later in the season.
