This is a big game for the pirates against 3rd placed Hartpury who have surprised a lot of teams with their performances this season.
Hopefully home advantage will give the boys the edge to get the win and keep the momentum going as we chase a top 4 finish.

They will be a tough nut to crack. They'rehaving a very good season and, apparently, have a big experienced pack.

This was a fantastic win against a very dangerous Hartpury team who showed flashes of why they are currently 3rd in the league.
There was some superb maul defence to deny the strong Hartpury pack the try which laid the foundation for a well deserved win.
This was a terrific effort by our forwards superbly led by captain Alex Everett.
Other notable performances from Matt Cannon, Josh King and a well deserved MoM for Charlie 'Buster' Rice.
This was an important win as we've closed the gap on Hartpury and now need to back it up at home next week against Ampthill.
