Pirates Amateurs 15 Camborne 2nds 5
Saturday 20th September 2008

Much of this first Merit Table game of the season played at the Mennaye Field was evenly matched & scoreless at half-time due to solid defensive effort shown by both sides.

In the second half the 'Amateurs' upped the pace of the game, and after adding fresh legs from the bench soon opened the scoring when wing Ed Skewes went over out wide.

Further unconverted tries followed for No. 8 Scott Powell and prop Danny Lugg, before Camborne's 'never say die attitude' was rewarded with their one try of the match scored at the old Western National corner of the ground.

S. Kent, E. Skewes, D. O'Connell, A. Pennell, A. Hall, A. Snell, T. Dugdale, S. Powell,
