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.

Yesterday’s match ended in a disappointing 26-21 defeat - unlike last week’s game of two very different halves, a close match throughout and we couldn’t quite turn pressure in the last 10 minutes into a winning score. Match report now available here

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.

On here I also run another, rugby club specific account. I’ve tried to encourage other clubs in our league to join @bsky.app but they’re resistant. It’s an uphill struggle and I’m thinking of not bothering so i can concentrate on just becoming a spectator again. @bromsgroverugby.bsky.social

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.
