JAMES WANTS BIG FINISH TO THE SEASON 21-04-2006

Versatile back Kevin James insists the Cornish Pirates are looking to finish their season on a high, starting with victory over Coventry this Saturday.

With just two games to go in National One, the Cornish club are poised to record their best-ever finish in the National Leagues.

Monday's dramatic 29-28 derby win over Plymouth Albion, sealed courtesy of an injury-time from James, has all but ensured Jim McKay's side of third spot in the division.

However, as James was quick to stress in the immediate aftermath of Monday's success, no-one at the Pirates will be letting up in these final two matches.

"Beating Plymouth is obviously a great result for us," said the Welshmam, who has claimed 13 tries in all competitions this season. "But we've got two more big games still to go.

"Coventry away will be a tough game, but hopefully we can take the confidence from the Plymouth game into that match, then finish with a really big performance against London Welsh."

Monday's game marked the last fixture at the club's Kenwyn base for this season - and as yet it is unknown whether the Pirates will be heading back to the Truro venue again next season.

The Pirates will return to the Mennaye Field, Penzance for their final game of the season against the Welsh Exiles on Saturday, April 29 (3pm).

Although the Mennaye grandstand is reserved for season ticket, debenture holders and sponsors, it has been confirmed that ground tickets for the game will cost £10 for adults, £7 for concessions, and £1 for Under-16s.
