PIRATES COLTS AND MINI JUNIOR REPORTS:

Pirates U15s 10, Truro 49

The home side made a fine start with a try from man-of-the-match prop Stephen Brown and a conversion by Liam Lonsdale giving them a lead.

Visitors Truro, however, responded with a try almost straight away and with continued pressure led 13-10 at half-time.

It was a setback for the Pirates when they lost the services of their open-side flanker early in the second period, but they battled on and did well to keep a strong Truro team to under 50 points.

Pirates U15s: N Nowell, J Nicholls, S Brown, J Brownfield, N Badcock, T Hutton, C Williams, K Stevens, L Lonsdale, L Ashley, R Osborne, S Cavell, R Cornish, J Bowers, M Skewes, A Guy.

Truro 15, Pirates U12s 30

The Pirates fought back from 10-0 down at half-time to beat a rapidly improving Truro outfit in an end-to-end encounter.

Dominance in the scrum from the excellent Mackensie, Will T and Will S provided the platform for strong running from Jacob and Connor, while the outstanding Archie scored his first try of the season.

Special mention, however, goes to Zelah, who continues to shine on the wing. She is surely a contender to perhaps one day play for the England Ladies team.

Pirates U12s: Mackensie, Will T, Will S, Jacob, Connor, Ali, Jamie, Mawgan, Zelah, Henry, Jordan, Archy, Morgan.

Truro 20, Pirates U11s 35

On a wet and uneven pitch the Pirates played this match over four quarters to give everyone game time.

Toby Osborne led the way with a quartet of tries for the visitors, the pick of which came following a run from inside his own half.

Eddy, Wragg (capt), Grey-Williams, Rogers, Morice, Thomas, Kearey, Rudge, Pascoe.

Truro 25, Pirates U10s 30

With enough players on both sides to play two teams, the game was played in four quarters.

At the end of the first quarter Truro led 10-5, but after playing downhill in the second quarter the Pirates pulled it back to 10-10 at half-time.

In the third period Truro took a commanding 25-10 lead, only for the Pirates to storm back in the final quarter, as J Prowse ran in four tries, while man-of-the-match T Berryman had his best game yet.

Truro 25, Pirates U9s 65

Because the home side had plenty of players it was decided to play the match in four quarters.

Injures to Danny Fyffe, Ross Gilmour, Beau O'Neill and Jacob Hill didn't help the Pirates' cause, but the visitors still ran out comfortable winners in difficult muddy conditions.

Truro 70, Pirates U8s 65

Overall the Pirates had tagged superbly, but with the pitch getting increasingly muddier Truro came back to level the scores at the end of the second third.

As the game neared its end the scores were level at 65-all, only for Truro to snatch victory with a decisive late try.
