This will be a tough game against a much improved Nottingham side who are currently sitting 3rd in the league.
Although we are still missing a couple of regulars it's great to have a fit again Charlie Rice available.
Hopefully after a couple of wins our confidence is building and we can return to Cornwall with a win.

Big boost to have Morgan, Charlie and Arthur fit again. Tough ask, but if we play at our best we can do this!

A great win on the road for the pirates as they scored 6 tries to take a bonus point win back to cornwall.
This was despite playing the last 8 minutes of the first half with 13 men after 2 yellows cards to Arwel Robson and Billy Young.
Discipline was once again an issue but the squad showed great determination and spirit.
A great win, have a safe journey home, lets hope the injury to Arwel is not to serious.
Lets get a big crowd down to the mennaye for next saturdays visit of cambridge.

Unfortunately due to my eyes not been as good in previous seasons unable to attend this fixture but, what a result and with 13 men in the final minutes (must sort out discipline this makes us a target I an sure by all the refs). Well done lads and hopefully will get to a couple of matches in New Year.
