On a damp but bright Sunday morning, Launceston hosted Redruth for what some might say was a rerun of the recent County Final in which the two teams shared the spoils.

From the start Launceston where brightest and moved the ball around well, Redruth seemed sluggish and was not long before Launceston put the ball down for the first score of the day, the home support certainly letting us know they where there.

Time ticked away and it looked like Redruth may be losing their grip on the game. After a well worked line out the ball found its way to Ryan Daughtery who scored in the far right corner. Minutes later the whistle blows for halftime.

Halftime 5-5

Redruth made 8 replacements at half time.

From the kickoff a Launceston error leads to Reduth camping deep in their half, moments later Jack Hitchens bursts through to score with only 3 minutes gone.

Again the teams lock horns and Redruth now get the upper hand within 12 minutes another 3 tries are put down by Sam Haywood, Ciaran Hicks, and Josh Hart. Jack Morrison converts Josh's try after hitting the post and narrowly missing the other.

In the dying minutes Josh Hart powers over for a deserved double wrapping up another good performance.

Overall a very tidy game, I'm not sure that apart from a few handling errors (greasy ball very evident) that the boys could have done more to impress the strong Redruth support.
