Hopefully at home we will do enough to secure the win that should see us finish 4th which would be a terrific result for this group of players.
Let's hope for a big crowd to cheer the boys on to victory in their final 80 minutes of this season.

Well said P15. The best way we can support the club is to turn up to every home game - and buy season tickets if able to.

A very mixed bag performance from the pirates to finish the season.
Full credit to Nottingham who played their part in an end to end encounter and if their kicker had not had an off day they would have been out of sight before the pirates got their act together in the 2nd half.
A fortunate bonus point win means the pirates finish a very credible 4th which is a fantastic achievement by this group of players.
Well done to all of the coaches,players, backroom and management for another enjoyable season.
Thank you again to our new owners and sponsors for their investment in the pirates.
Have a great summer and hopefully I will see you all down at the Mennaye for the 2025-26 season.

Rode our luck today, but grafted out another win.
See everyone next season!

Ten minutes before half time my mate and me both agreed there was no way back, we gifted at least two tries and the Notts full-back was on fire, it seemed he was covered in grease, no one could hold him. But once he was substituted the game changed and we started to get a foothold, add to that their kicker just didn't seem to have the accuracy you might expect from someone trusted with that duty. Then for about 20 minutes in the second half we suddenly came alive, and from then on the game slowly swung our way, credit to all the boys out there they just about deserved that win and the miss (again) by Notts in what was the final kick of the game meant that nearly 1900 supporters could breathe again. Well done to both teams for what was a fitting end to a very good season considering the start we made. To all those players moving on and to those that are staying thank you for a great season, here's to the next one. One question for the Notts management why did they sub the fullback was it tactical (because it didn't work) or maybe an injury? For all the neutral who watched the game it must have been very entertaining and maybe at least some of them will return regularly next season.

Notts full back was definitely limping when he came off.
His brother scored two tries against us at Donny last week, and this lad is off to Donny next season.
