The Cornish Pirates v. Ealing

A cold but dry afternoon greeted the two teams as they ran on to the field for this important match. After four bonus point wins on the trot for The Pirates in their last four games, hopes were high for a fifth this afternoon. Ealing started well, but every attack they made was halted by The Pirates. Gradually however, The Pirates gained ground and after ceaselessly hammering the Ealing line, they scored the first try. Unfortunately Arwel Robson’s conversion attempt hit the post. Ealing increased the pressure and just as it seemed they would certainly score, A.J.Cant intercepted a pass almost on the line and quickly passing the ball to Tommy Wyatt, who, after avoiding the tackle of Ealing players, ran the length of the field to score under the posts to make it 12-0. The half continued with both teams attacking strongly, but it was The Pirates who had the best chance to score when they played phase after phase on the Ealing line, but in the end they lost the chance by giving away a penalty. Half-time, 12-0.

There were hopes now That the Pirates would score a couple more tries in the second half to get a very important win. Although the first score fell to Ealing via an unconverted try in the 48^th. minute, The Pirates had an excellent chance a few minutes after when they started a rolling maul which approached the Ealing line a full speed, but for some reason, Will Crane broke free of the maul with the ball, six or seven metres short of the line, but failed to score. This was a great chance lost to score the third try. Then in the 60^th minute, The Pirates were shown a yellow card, followed right away with Ealing’s second try. The remainder of the half now belonged to Ealing. The Pirates got two more yellow cards, with Ealing taking the lead for the first time in the match with a penalty kick to bring the score to 12-15. There was still a chance for The Pirates to save the game, but the last three minutes were a disaster for The Pirates as Ealing scored two tries to seal a bonus point win. Final score, The Cornish Pirates 12, Ealing 25.
