Cornish Pirates

An entertaining final 15 but no more points and finishes at 21-49 - another good away win before the March break.

Pirates well in control with 15 minutes left - excellent tries from Mawson and Agbongbon (his 3rd in 3 games) as well as a routine maul try. All converted by Sinclair.

Now Cambridge 21-49 Cornish Pirates

Pirates have the bonus point try in the bank and at half time it’s Cambridge 14-28 Cornish Pirates

Eventful end to the half. First Cambridge have a penalty try which seems to be a saving tackle by Angus Mawson judged high - yellow card duly follows. Almost from the restart Ben Cambriani goes on a massive run nearly to the line and after a few more phases Relton scores from a kick to the corner.

Half an hour gone and Pirates lead 21-7. After an early Cambridge try, Alex Everett scored one, created another with a break that led to a deliberate knock on and penalty try, and then Arthur Relton from another break down the left.
