On a bright but very breezy morning Redruth met local rivals Camborne for the first time this season.

Redruth travelled with 22 players and captain for the day Ryan Daughtery lost the toss, Camborne electing to play into the wind in the first half.

It took 7 minutes for Redruth to break the deadlock with a try from Connor Hendy, this was followed by tries from Prop Liam Barkwell a double from Jordan Smart and a try by Ryan Daughtery. Bradley Rowe added to the points with a conversion leaving Redruth 27-0 going into the second half.

With 7 changes to the side Redruth took to the field again, Jack Morrison taking over from Bradley as Fly Half kicks off and Redruth now with the bit between their teeth took only 3 minutes to start the points rolling with a try from Jonny Wood.

Then followed a 10 minute period where Josh Hart got a double and Connor Hendy his second, Connors try in the 38th minute was a shocker for Camborne who all game gave their all, a Camborne penalty failed to reach touch and the ball was passed slickly wide to Connor who ran almost the whole pitch to put down under the posts.

Jack duly converted the three tries and then in the 49th minute put down just to the left of the posts for a try of his own. Angus Hallam took the conversion to seal the game at 60-0.

The game was refereed by Pete (Rugby Tackle @ Penzance) and despite most decisions going against us it was in the main a fair game. In the 35th minute Stan Sommers found himself on the receiving end of a yellow card which to be honest is harsh for this age particularly when you find out it was for no more than a push, however it didn’t affect the game and I hope that Stan puts it behind him as it really had no reflection on his usual honest, hard playing game.

Overall an excellent performance by the team and credit where credits due Camborne did no give up to the very end and were rightly applauded by the Reds.
