Pirates Colts 54 Penryn Colts 5
11th Sept 2010

A strong Pirates Colts side kicked off their season in style at the Mennaye Field on Saturday with a convincing win against a very sporting Penryn side.

Like many Colts teams in Cornwall, Penryn had difficulty in fielding a full XV, but were loaned some players by the Pirates to importantly make sure that 30 youngster had a game. Both sides played good rugby and enjoyed the Mennaye Field's groomed pitch and surrounds.

The first half was closely contested, as indicated by the 12-5 scoreline. However, as Penryn tired it was a different story in the second period and the home team ran out comfortable winners.

In total, the young Pirates scored eight tries through Ben Brooks (2), Luke Cowan-Dickie (2), Mike Roach, Stefan Osborne, Silas Sullivan and Keiran Brownfield. Brooks also converted six and Cowan-Dickie one.

Back L-R: Mike Roach, Will Collins, John Hunter, Hadyn Oates-Stott, Ross Williams, Keiran Brownfield, Zac Gribble, Ben Brittan, Gabs Sullivan, Connor Murley, Tom Leah, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Jonny Badcock.

Front L-R: Guy Hopson, Silas Sullivan, Stefan Osborne, Ben Brooks, Jack Lugg (capt), Richard Walters, Harry Hudson, Will Orchard.
