Sam is the ‘Tribute’ Player of the Month – Again!

The Cornish Pirates ‘Tribute Player of the Month’ for March has now been confirmed, and for the second month running the award goes to hooker Sam Matavesi.

Alongside Sam, other worthy nominees as voted for by club coaches Gavin Cattle and Alan Paver were Brett Beukeboom, Christian Judge, and Kyle Moyle.

Sam, aged 26, not only featured in all four games played in March, but was the St. Austell Brewery man-of-the-match at home to London Scottish. He also scored two tries in that fixture, besides crossing for one in the league win away to Hartpury RFC.

The St. Austell Brewery ‘Tribute’ Player of the Month award was introduced last season, with the coaching team nominating four players each month. The winner is presented with a case of Tribute Ale, as is one lucky voter each month, who is chosen at random.
