Next up was Torquay, the young Reds coming away with a two trys to nil victory. The final group game was against fellow Cornish side Helston.

Redruth started with pace and scored early in the game, followed in quick succession by three more scores, the final result Redruth winning four trys to nil to be crowned 2017/18 Land Rover Cup Champions.
Overall Redruth played six games, won five, drew one, scored 13 trys and conceded none.
