Match report by Ed Bawden

Redruth paid dearly for their lapses as the went down by 4 tries to 1 against fellow strugglers Otley in Yorkshire.

The Reds dominated the second period of the game but lapses in concentration saw them concede three long range tries. At the end of the game the Cornish side pressed hard for a bonus point but could not force their way over the line.

Teenager Tom Notman, previously with Camborne, had a decent first half on his debut for The Reds putting in a couple of good runs (he was also singled out for praise after the match by Luke Collins via Twitter: @rugby_luke ) .

Otley took the lead with a try by prop Chris Hamil after good play down the blind side by skipper Steve Depledge and James Twomey had stretched The Reds defence. Jervis Manupenu converted from in front of the posts.

Redruth hit back from the restart with a 35 metre penalty by Aaron Penberthy following a back foot offside offence.

The hosts had plenty of pace in the backs but Nathan Pedley and Matthew Bowden were on form for The Reds.

Manupenu hit the post with a 35 metre penalty attempt before putting over a kick from 30 metres in the 31st minute, with the home side taking a 10-3 lead into the interval.

At the start of the second half Redruth were caught asleep on the blind side as Delpedge and Twomey made a lot of ground in front of the grandstand, before good support play saw flanker Rob Afoa-Peterson cross in the right hand corner for an unconverted try. Redruth supporters felt there was a foot in touch during the move but the try stood.

Penberthy responded a few minutes later with a penalty from in front of the posts for The Reds.

Following a turnover in their own half Otley spotted space and moved the ball to Curtis Wilson who was too quick for The Reds cover as he raced away for an unconverted try after 51 minutes.

Another well struck penalty by Penberthy after Otley failed to roll away after a tackle kept the Cornishmen in the game on the hour mark.

Despite a shower of rain, Redruth were playing some good rugby. Mark Bright worked hard but did not have anyone able to break through the home defence and when replacement prop Peter Tennet touched down the home side’s 4th try after 68 minutes the result was beyond doubt.

After losing Lewis Vinnicombe with injury Redruth dominated the closing stages, with replacement Sean Hawkey going over for a try after good play by skipper Darren Jacques and Pedley.

In the closing stages Otley were penalised three times inside their 22 as they were desperate to close down Redruth attacks and stop the Cornishmen having the consolation of a deserved bonus point for the long journey home.

Redruth u9′s V Hayle u9′s

Robert-Churchill — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 09:52:51 +0000

Sunday 10th October – A warm sunny morning welcomed us to our first home game of the Season, and the first home game of contact rugby – the boys were nervous and this showed as they warmed up.

Hayle brought their A squad and were up for the match and were looking for glory from the start. We had the difficult choice of only being asked to use 12 of the 17 boys who turned up. So with hesitation I had to let 5 boys down but they were bouyed wit the fact that they will be playing a game against Hayle B on Friday night.

With the selected 12 we started the match and it was evident that Hayle were no slouches and had a fast and strong squad that could ruck very well. Hayle scored 6 try’s to our two in the first half, with all of their scores coming as a result of strong rucking and strong running. We were encouraged by our tries as they were a result of quick running rugby with a good shape and passing movements.

The second half was a bruising affair with the reds getting more involved in the rucking game, but the Hayle numbers proved too much in the rucks and we lost ball. We defended well but with the constant presuure of lost ball in the contact we let in a further 4 try’s. The end of the game came and the boys new that they had played a strong team and a physical side – They have learnt a lot from the game and we must congratulate the boys for sticking at it and for putting up a brave display under huge pressure. Well done to Hayle on a strong physical performance that will test all the teams they play this season.

Redruth U10′s v Hayle U10′s

Chris Sidwell — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 10:09:29 +0000

On a beautiful Sunday morning, Redruth U10′s welcomed Hayle Lions for the first home fixture of the season. Confident from their victory at the Clifton Festival, the young Reds were looking to continue where they left off a week ago. They did just that, retaining the ball for many phases and were only held out by a resolute Hayle cover defence. After continued pressure and excellent rucking and driving by the Reds, along with strong running by the backs, we led by 15 – nil at the end of the first ten minute period.

Changes were made for the second period, and it was Patrick who really showed his strength and determination, and was our standout player, terrorising the Hayle defence and scoring a total of 4 tries in the game.

The final 10 minute period and even more changes were made ensuring all the squad had game time. Even with the changes, the boys continued to play well with aggressive tackling and rucking to the fore, not once allowing Hayle to cross our line.

All in all a great squad effort, with many boys having strong games. Improved tackling and great rucking to create turnover ball time and again.

Thanks to Jason and his players for and enjoyable morning, our encounters are always full of commitment from both sides. It just goes to show that these are two of the best teams for their age group in the county.

The final score was Redruth 45 – Hayle 0

Scorers were: Patrick Wilkins 4, Jack Goldring 2, Jordan Sidwell 2 and William Kitto 1.

Redruth 20 Barking 20

Match report by Roger Watson

A last minute try from Redruth’s Lewis Vinnicombe ensured that the spoils were shared, despite the home side outscoring the visitors by three tries to one.

With the wind at their backs Barking were quickly off the mark courtesy of the reliable boot of full back Adam Armstrong when the hosts were penalised for going offside at the breakdown. The lead was short lived as Aaron Penberthy struck back, converting the penalty awarded to Redruth. Armstrong put the visitors back in front two minutes later with a long range kick.

The loss of a scrum wounded the pride of the Redruth pack and spurred them into action. With forwards and backs combining well, The Reds put together some of the best phases of rugby seen at the Recreation Ground this season. Hooker Matt Gidlow broke the line to link up with Owen Hambly, who put Nathan Pedley over for a splendid try. Straight back onto the attack Redruth then chased down a kick ahead, quickly recycled the ball and passed wide for left winger Matt Bowden to touch down in the corner, Penberthy then adding the extras.

At 15 – 6 with half time approaching the home side looked in complete control, but then the Cornish side threw Barking a life line by transgressing in front of their own posts to give Armstrong a simple chance to get back to within a single score.

This proved to be the turning point of the game as it was a rejuvenated Barking that took the field after the break. Armstrong seemed unable to miss and rewarded Barking with two more penalties to level the score.

The Redruth defence was stretched repeatedly with some heroic tackles, the pick of which by seventeen year old Jack Nowell denied a certain score. Barking’s reward came with just three minutes left on the clock when Scott Shaw touched down in the corner. For once Armstrong’s kick drifted wide of the posts.

Redruth, determined not to be beaten, stormed back. After patiently going through the phases the Reds moved the ball wide to Vinnicombe who showed a good turn of speed to cross in the corner. The crowd held their breath as referee Mr Campbell consulted with his assistant before awarding the try, Penberthy’s conversion attempt narrowly missing.

David Penberthy, Redruth’s Director of Rugby, was delighted with the way The Reds had kept together despite going behind so close to the end. “We are still building but making really good progress, we’ll get there.”

Redruth Colts v St Ives Colts 6th Oct 2010 42-19

Stuart Morrison — Sat, 09 Oct 2010 19:18:47 +0000

An impressive win by Redruth today down at St Ives, despite the windy conditions Redruth dominated the game from start to finish. The lineouts were won most of the time, although we did still seem to manage to loose possession too easy at some of the breakdowns

WIllser yet again again scoring for Redruth it seems his try the other week has inspired him to put down a well deserved try. On a bizarre note Jack Churcher started for Reduth and put a try down, and after being replaced at half time as part of the Redruth plan found himself playing for St Ives due to an injury. He then scored for them and helped St Ives to put some points on the board.

Some good all round play by Redruth with the other Redruth points coming from a Try by Luke Johnson as well as from his boot, Hugh, Liam and Robbie added to the total.
