NATIONAL LEAGUE TWO WEST (SATURDAY)

Camborne 41 Hinckley 19

CAMBORNE moved to the top of the National Two West table with a convincing victory over Hinckley.

The Cherry and Whites started strongly playing down the slope and soon took the lead with centre Josh Matavesi throwing a dummy and charging over. Kyle Moyle added the conversion for 7-0.

On the half hour the visitors levelled with a well-worked try and soon after capitalised on a home handling error to bag a second converted effort to snatch the lead.

Returning to the attack, the home side punted a penalty to touch in front of a packed West Bank and from the lineout Ben Priddey touched down for fly-half Moyle to add the extras with a well-judged kick.

Before the break Camborne went back in front in style when hooker Priddey fed Moyle and looped around to receive the return pass to head over in the scoreboard corner.

Leading 19-14 at half-time the Cherry and Whites soon stretched the lead with a routine penalty from Moyle.

On 54 minutes the home try bonus point was secured when wing Alex Ducker stooped to collect a Harry Larkins pass before darting over in the turnstile corner. Moyle converted with an excellent kick.

Now 29-14 up, Camborne introduced debutant young wing Jowan Wilding and his first act was a superb try-saving tackle.

Going into the closing stages ‘Town’ went out of sight as Priddey showed his strength to force his way over off the back of a maul to complete yet another hat-trick of touchdowns.

Down but not out the visitors hit back with their third try of the afternoon before Camborne added further gloss late on as Tommy-Lee Southworth steered over from a catch and drive. Moyle slotted his fourth conversion.

CAMBORNE: Harry Larkins, AJ King, Connor Gilbert, Josh Matavesi, Alex Ducker, Kyle Moyle, CJ Boyce; Tommy-Lee Southworth, Ben Priddey, Sam Rodman, Jack Heazelton, Adam Hughes, Jordan Rose (capt), Jordan Nicholls, Dan Marais. Replacements: Jon Drew, Jack Andrew, Kaea Griffiths, Will Tanswell, Jowan Wilding.

NATIONAL LEAGUE TWO WEST (SATURDAY)

Redruth 38 Luctonians 29

REDRUTH’S inconsistent start to the season was given a huge boost on Saturday as they secured a thoroughly deserved victory over high-flying Luctonians in West Cornwall.

The Reds had secured two bonus points in defeat at Old Redcliffians a week earlier, but this time collected a further three to ensure a maximum.

The visitors took an early lead through lock scrum-half Owen Randell, but the Cornishmen were level on 16 minutes via full-back Charlie Levick. Dean Wills added the extras for 7-7.

Both sides had their moments, and a penalty from Jamin Hodgkins put the previously unbeaten visitors in front.

But Tom Georgiou collected his own kick through to put the Reds back in front which was added to by Wills, but Jack Goodwin dotted down from a maul to put the visitors in front at the break (14-17).

With the slope in the home side’s favour they soon made it count and were 11 points clear inside ten minutes.

First, Wills scored out wide before debutant scrum-half Will Rigelsford finished off a set piece.

Luctonians showed why they are amongst the division’s frontrunners with two quick tries either side of the hour to put themselves 29-28 ahead.

Put Redruth persisted and after more good work, man of the match Rigelsford scored his second.

Wills added a penalty with six minutes to go to put the Reds nine points ahead, a lead they held onto until the end.

REDRUTH: Charlie Levick, Bobby Wigginton, Jack Simmons, Tom Georgiou, Luke Johnson, Dean Wills, Will Riglesford; Tommy Phillips, Matthew Pritchard, Tyler Gendall, Jamie Prisk, Edward Pascoe (capt), Connor Triggs, Freddy Trewin, Chris Rovery. Replacements: Jess Tompsett, Luke Barnes, Finlay Wolstencroft, James Murray, Sam James.

Tries: Levick, Georgiou, Wills, Riglesford (2); Convs: Wills (5); Pens: Wills.

Redruth man of the match: Will Riglesford.
