St. Ives U13s 5 Pirates U13s 5

Honours were shared on a glorious day at Alexandra Road, as two evenly matched sides scored one try apiece. The Pirates had rested a number of their regular players for this encounter, so a much more even game had been anticipated.

Having the better of the first half, the Pirates scored a try through number 8 Asher Richards. However, St Ives came back strongly and countered with a try of their own before the interval, it following a good forward drive.

In the second half St Ives took the game to the Pirates, but could not break through their defensive line. The tackling from a team where a number of players played out of position was excellent, with congratulations to Josh Rochell who was making his Pirates debut.
