Richmond v. The Cornish Pirates

For this first round of the Championship Cup, both teams made a number of changes – The Pirates with nine and Richmond in truth with a new team to that which played the week before against Bedford. Soon The Pirates had scored the first points when Callum Sirker crossed the line for an unconverted try. Then with no more than 7 minutes on the clock they increased their score through a try by Seb Nagle-Taylor, which was converted by Harry Bazelgette. The Pirates continued to put a lot of pressure on the Richmond defence and following a series of penalties and a yellow card after 17 minutes, The Pirates scored their third try through a powerful driving maul. The scorer was Max Norey and again Bazelgette was successful with the conversion – 0-19. Now The Pirates were striving for the bonus point, which came when Tom Kessel took a quick penalty kick to Sirker, who scored in the corner. Bazelgette was successful with the difficult conversion. To put icing on the cake, and following hard work by Nagle-Taylor, the ball was passed to Sirker who scored his second try, converted by Bazelgette. Half-time and the score 0-33.

Richmond made several changes for the second half and for the first time they gained access into The Pirates’ half and soon this was rewarded by a converted try. However, in spite of Richmond upping their game, they were giving away too many penalties – which The Pirates seized to their advantage. The sixth try came after 57 minutes, thanks to Max Norey, which was followed eight minutes later by a Morgan Nelson try. Bazelgette converted to bring the score to 7-45. Still The Pirates continued to put a lot of pressure on the Richmond defence and within five minutes they had reached the 50-point mark when Relton scored his second try. The Pirates were still hungry for another score and with two minutes left, Sirker crossed the line for his hat-trick. Then with 80 minutes on the clock. Richmond were shown a yellow card for a high tackle, and following Bazelgette’s kick to the corner, Morgan Nelson went over the line to bring the final score to – Richmond 7, The Cornish Pirates 62.
