A Redruth Development XV beat Camborne by 19 points to 10 in the annual and traditional Boxing Day encounter.
In a game that perhaps only really came to life in the last quarter, Redruth can thank the boot of home for Christmas fly-half Tom Glover, who kicked 4 good penalties and a very well-struck conversion of Ed Carnes’s try.
For Camborne, young replacement Cameron Bone and old stager but still very capable Kevin Penrose touched down.
The crowd of about 1200 were very well entertained, and after the game captain Neil Douch presented the match ball to Ann Frickers, grandmother of Reds second row Stuart Crew, and 91 years young. Our thanks and best wishes to her.
Earlier in the day, Redruth’s Baa-baas were beaten at Camborne but the Under-19 Colts beat their Camborne counterparts by 20 points to 15.
