This friendly was arranged as both sides had a blank date, Plymouth sportingly travelled down to give the Redruth supporters a chance to see the Senior players at home for the first time in five weeks.

This was an entertaining game with both sides making breaks but unable to get through the final defence and cross the line. Plymouth scored two penalties early on and missed one just on half-time. Half-time score 0 – 6.

Early in the second half Craig Bonds scored a penalty and the score remained at 3 – 6 until the finish.

This Friday, 12th October, The Wooden Spoon holds its Annual Dinner at the Hotel Bristol in Newquay. Gareth Chilcott will be the guest speaker so it should be a fun evening.
