With arguably the two best sides in the County meeting at the semi final stage of the Cornwall Cup nerves were on edge for a place in the final. Truro started the stronger with the wind at their backs, but were kept from breaching the Reds line with what must be the best defence in the South West. On their first break from Truro

A week before the county championships Reds hosted a very strong Truro outfit. The game was played in a biting wind but both teams put on a great display of junior rugby.

Truro started the stronger, dominating possession of the ball through good use of their forwards and deservedly took a 7

I received this e-mail from a mini player which proves that kids to-day really do appreciate their coaches and it made me think if that is always the case?

Hi,
My name is Merlin Quinnan and I play for the under 12s.
We have just come back from a fantastic tour to Minehead.
We stayed at Butlins and ate too many burgers but had two great games losing
narrowly to Wivilescombe under 13s on a full size pitch on Saturday and
beating a big Minehead side on Sunday. Twenty boys toured with parents and
guardians and we all enjoyed the experience together.
I want to thank David Penberthy and Mark Bryant the senior coaches, and
Shane Gregor and John Carpenter for putting it all together.

On a cold sunny morning ,the Reds travelled to Newquay with high hopes after last years draw, Dispite having a depleted squad of only 10.

From the start the Reds took the game to Newquay, after a hard fought few minutes the Reds scored first after winning possession.They then did the same again and now where on a role,with exellent supportive maulling rucking and scrumageing,ending the first half 30 points to 10.

The second half saw Newquay come back at the Reds with 2 fairly quick tries .
They kept their cool and with good tackleing passing and thoughtful ungreedy play came back at Newquay.To give Redruth a well deserved win. Well played both teams.

Redruth changed their starting line up for this game and took a while to settle down.. Weston had some strong runners and early on they broke through tackles and from a driving maul went over the line Matt Britton touching down for James Reid to add the extras. Redruth were again under pressure from the kick off Weston driving forward and after a scrum Redruth yielded a penalty in front of the posts Reid again adding the points. Redruth were now showing more composure and Scott Martin reduced the arrears with a penalty. It was Redruth

A terrific second half performance gave Redruth a well-deserved win against the League leaders. Redruth played up the slope against the wind in the first half and Blackheath were soon on the scoreboard when Derek Coates kicked a penalty. The Blackheath pack were giving Redruth a torrid time in the scrum and used the wind well in the first half but the stout defence restricted them to one try when scrum half Nick Maurer sneaked over after a particularly strong drive, Coates adding the extras. He also added another penalty before a Scott Martin penalty near halftime brought the score back to 3
