Pirates Amateurs 18 Carbis Bay All Stars 41 13th April, 2008
Harlequins Amateurs 31 Pirates Amateurs 21 30th March, 2008 A noon kick-off was a tall order for the Pirates after a night at Kempton Park races, it a situation exacerbated by the fact the team also had just 13 fit players to take on theirs 'Quins' counterparts. Watching the game played at Teddington was former England captain Bill Beaumont, whose son played at hooker for the hosts, the large crowd enjoying the contest. The Pirates led 21-14 at the break, before injuries took their toll when 'Pup' Gwennap and Des O'Connell had to go off. With a player also sin-binned the Pirates played with just 10 men for a spell, it perhaps no surprise that the Quins, who only had 14 players themselves, ultimately emerged winners of a hard-fought match. Tries for the Pirates were scored by prop Treve Williams, wing Phil Grey and centre Tom McFadden. Lock Scott Powell slotted two conversions, with there one also successfully kicked by fly-half Andrew Snell. Pirates Amateurs: M. Osborne, T. McFadden, D. O'Connell, P. Grey, A. Snell, G. Tackle, S., Dugdale, R. Sharp, S. Powell, D. Lawrence, T. Williams, A. Gwennap, M. Blewett. Pirates Amateurs 29 Imperial Medicals 42 22nd March, 2008 The Pirates performed well in this match against the very useful Imperial Medicals team who were on their annual Easter tour to Cornwall. To lose 29-42 was certainly no disgrace, both sides playing some fine rugby on a windy day. In total the Pirates crossed for five tries in the match, with there a brace for flanker Wayne Davey. Pirates Amateurs: A. Weston, D. Hewett, S. Bryant, D. O'Connell, P. Grey, A. Snell, T. Dugdale, S. Powell, M. Pascoe, W. Davey, M. Rashleigh, D. Lawrence, D. Lugg, N. Turner, J. Gwennap. Replacements (all used): S. Dugdale, G. Tackle, M. Blewett, M. Osborne, E. Skewes, R. Heath, G. Pye, J. Semmens. Scorers - tries: Davey (2), Lugg, Bryant, Weston; cons: Weston (2). This weekend the Amateurs are travelling to London to enjoy a night at the Kempton races on Friday, before playing Harlequins Amateurs at Teddington on Saturday (ko 12 noon). Following their game, they will then watch the Harlequins versus Newcastle Falcons match at The Stoop. Pirates Amateurs 32 Newquay 2nds 11 15th March, 2008 The Pirates made a good start in this game played on the Mennaye Nurseries field, with lock Dave Lawrence and prop Wayne Davey carrying the ball strongly, before wing Phil Grey then ripped the ball out of a maul to run in unopposed for a try. In total the Pirates scored six tries in the match, including an outstanding effort from 60 metres out by replacement Danny Hewett, who could be forgiven for appreciating advantage of the slight slope in his favour. Pirates Amateurs: B. Quick, P. Grey, T. McFadden, N. Rees, N. Hosking, A. Snell, A. Weston, S. Powell, M. Pascoe, G. Pye, D. Lawrence, M. Greig, W. Davey (capt), S. Dugdale, J. Gwennap.

Pirates Amateurs 7 Camborne 2nds 27 23rd February, 2008 The Pirates Amateurs were well beaten on the Mennaye Field by a strong Camborne side containing a good mix of youth and experience. In recent weeks this Pirates team has not been able to recapture their early season form, them scoring just the one try in the match through captain Wayne Davey, which was converted by fly-half Nathan Glinski. Given a special welcome and making an appearance off the bench was Darren Hicks, who is home on leave from Afghanistan. Pirates Amateurs: G. Tackle, P. Grey, T. McFadden, A. Snell, N. Hosking, N. Glinski, A. Weston, S. Powell, M. Pascoe, W. Davey (capt), M. Rashleigh, Z. Harris, J. Gwennap, A. Gwennap, D. Lugg. Wadebridge 2nds 16 Pirates Amateurs 5 16th February, 2008 The Pirates Amateurs lost their first Merit table game of the season to a very strong Wadebridge team who led 11-0 at the break. In the second half the Pirates were much improved, and came back into the match with a well taken try scored by centre Tom McFadden, but it was not enough as their hosts managed to cross the line once more to emerge worthy victors. Pirates Amateurs: T. Dugdale, E. Skewes, T. McFadden, D. O'Connell, D. Hewett, A. Snell, A. Weston, M. Pascoe, M. Rashleigh, T. Hands (capt), M. Greig, Z. Harris, J. Gwennap, A. Gwennap, D. Lugg. Pirates Amateurs 13 Redruth 3rds 21 2nd. February, 2008 In their first home game in six weeks, the Pirates were beaten by a well-drilled Redruth team. The Pirates scored just one try in the match when replacement Dave Lawrence crashed over the line in trademark style, it converted by fly-half Nathan Glinski who also landed two penalties. Pirates Amateurs: E. Skewes, P. Grey, T. McFadden, A. Snell, N. Hosking, N. Glinski, D. Pascoe, T. Ball, M. Pascoe, T. Hands (capt), S. Powell, M. Nicholas, J. Gwennap, I. James, D. Lugg. The Pirates Amateurs next game is at home to Falmouth this coming Saturday 9th February, the match kicking off at 2.45pm on the Mennaye Nurseries field. Pirates Amateurs 54 Brooksy's Barbarians 20 26th December 2007 This Boxing Day friendly provided great entertainment at the Mennaye Field during the Christmas Holiday period. Included in the Barbarians side were a number of former 'Pirate' stars such as Simon Stone and Keith Terry, plus several 'exiles' who were enjoying a seasonal break. St. Just & Cornwall cricketer Nick George played at full-back, and there was an appearance from the bench of Brooksy himself - who still managed to look as clean and tidy at the end, as when he had started. Nothing has changed! Full-back Ben Quick notched up a hat-trick of tries for the Amateurs, all involved also wishing him well before his posting overseas with the Marines. Peter Lugg refereed most of the match, before then playing for the Barbarians team as a replacement - there still time for him to cross the line for one of their four tries scored in the match. Pirates Amateurs Replacements (all used): K. Walsh, M. Hanley, W. Baker, M. Rashleigh, S. Richards. Brooksy's Barbarians Replacements (all used): S. Hickman, N. Eddy, C. Hosking, N. Brooks, Z. Scott, P. Lugg. Scorers:- Pirates 'Amateurs' 64 Launceston 'Castles' 5 15th. December, 2007 This was a game in which the Pirates played some fabulously flowing rugby football, it a tribute to the coaching of Paul Greaves. The threequarters ran riot, and the support play of forwards Julian Gwennap, Matt Pascoe and Scott Powell was outstanding. Pirates Amateurs: B. Quick, D. Hewett, A. Weston, A. Snell, N. Hosking, N. Glinski, T. Dugdale, S. Powell, M. Pascoe, W. Davey, M. Rashleigh, M. Nicholas, D. Lugg, A Gwennap, J. Gwennap. Replacements (all used): S. Dugdale, K. Walsh, A. Hall, I. James, D. Bateman, Z. Scott, G. Pye. Scorers - tries: Davey (2), Weston (2), T. Dugdale, Glinski, Hosking, Snell, Hewett, Walsh; cons: Glinski (7). Unbeaten this season, the Pirates Amateurs next game is a friendly at the Mennaye Field on Boxing Day against Brooksy's Barbarians. The game, which kicks off at 2pm, should provide some worthy festive entertainment - it also one which include a number of interesting family conflicts. The George brothers, Nick and Mark, will be in opposition, as will Andrew Snell and Kelvin Snell, and Scott Dugdale and son Trevelyan. Pirates Amateurs 22 Falmouth 12 8th December 2007 For this 'friendly' match the Pirates Amateurs showed 10 changes from the team that played St. Ives the previous week, the game also played with uncontested scrums, which nullified part of the Pirates attacking game plan. The Pirates took the lead when hooker Lee Williams crashed over under the posts, it converted by fly-half Nathan Glinski, with their other points coming from tries scored by wing Nathan Hosking, full-back Ed Skewes and replacement Kevin Walsh. Pirates Amateurs: E. Skewes, P. Grey, H. Lewis, A. Snell (capt), N. Hosking, M. Glinski, B. Quick, S. Powell, M. Pascoe, M. Rashleigh, Z. Harris, G. Pye, J. Gwennap, L. Williams, D. Lugg. Replacements (all used): S. Dugdale, R. Davies, K. Walsh, T. Williams, M. Blewett. Scorers - tries: Williams, Hosking, Skewes, Walsh; con: Glinski. The Pirates Amateurs next game is at home on Saturday 15th. December, kick-off 2.30p.m. St. Ives 2nds 0 Pirates Amateurs 22 1st December 2007 A local 'derby' Merit Table game in the wind and rain at Alexandra Road was not one for the backs. In a forward dominated affair, it was the visiting Pirates pack that gained the upper hand, their domination at scrummage and maul time helping lock Dave Lawrence to score two tries in the first half. The hosts looked dangerous with ball in hand, but their limited chances were thwarted by the Pirates back-row as the visitors proceeded to score two more tries in the second forty through young full-back Aaron Hall and prop Matt Nicholas. Pirates: A. Hall, E. Skewes, Hamish, A. Snell, N. Hosking, J. Trezise, T. Dugdale, T. Ball, W. Davey, T. Hands (capt), M. Pascoe, D. Lawrence, M. Nicholas, A. Gwennap, T. Williams. Replacements: S. Dugdale, M. Grieg, D. Lugg, G. Pye, I. James, S. Powell (used); P. Grey, Z. Harris, M. Blewett (not used). Scorers - tries: Lawrence (2), Hall, Nicholas; con: Trezise (1). Pirates Amateurs 15 Newquay 2nds 5 24th. November, 2007 Following an Indian summer, the arrival some poor weather was inevitable, this 'friendly' game played at the Mennaye Field in pretty miserable conditions. The visiting 'Hornets' took the lead with an early try at the clubhouse corner, it one which drew an immediate response from the home team which ended with wing Phil Grey scoring on his debut. Another feature of the match worth highlighting is that stalwart Scott Dugdale had the pleasure of playing in the same team has son Trevelyan, who normally captains the Pirates Colts. Both were busy, with Trevelyan impressing his senior colleagues. The Pirates took the lead early in the second period thanks to a penalty kicked by James Trezise, the fly-half also adding the extras to a try scored by flanker Andrew Gwennap which secured a deserved victory. Besides Trevelyan Dugdale, there were three other Colts who played for the Pirates on the day, namely George Pye, Hamish Lewis and Paul Thornton, all of whom did well. Pirates Amateurs: B. Quick, P. Grey, H. Lewis, A. Snell, N. Hosking, J. Trezise, T. Dugdale, W. Davey (capt), S. Dugdale, A. Gwennap, G. Pye, M. Nicholas, D. Lugg, D. Bateman, J. Gwennap. Scorers - tries: Grey, Gwennap; con: Trezise; pen: Trezise. This coming Saturday 1st. December, the Pirates Amateurs have a Merit Table game away to St. Ives 2nds, kick-off at 2.30p.m.
Camborne 2nds 15 Pirates Amateurs 15 10th. November, 2007 A strong Camborne side played the better in the first half, before the Pirates hit back strongly before the interval with a rampaging charge and try scored by prop Treve 'Tank' Williams. Introducing fresh legs for the second half, the power of replacement Dave Lawrence broke the Camborne defence, gifting scrum-half Ashley Weston space to put supporting flanker Matt Pascoe in for a try converted by fly-half Nathan Glinski. With the scoreline reading 12-15, it looked like the Pirates could hold out for victory, but it was not to be, a successful penalty attempt enabling the 'Cherry & Whites' to earn them a draw. Pirates Amateurs: Scorers - tries: Williams, Pascoe; con: Glinski; pen: Glinski. Pirates 2nds 35 Wadebridge 2nds 25 3rd. November, 2007 With both sides undefeated in this top of the Merit Table clash, a tough game was always likely, it ultimately proving to be just that. Yes, the Pirates led 18-3 at the break after their pack had taken control in the first period, but the Camels suddenly hit back at the start of the second half with three unanswered tries. Home centre Tom McFadden unfortunately broke an arm, but the Pirates refused to buckle under the leadership of flanker Tony Hands, them finishing strongly to win the game with a penalty try and a try scored by replacement Zac Harris. Thanks were due to Andrew Snell who had been selected to play for the Pirates, but kindly agreed to referee the match at late notice. Pirates 2nds: B. Quick, N. Hosking, T. McFadden, N. Rees, D. Hewett, J. Trezise, A. Weston, T. Ball, M. Pascoe, T. Hands (capt), M. Nicholas, R. Davies, D. Lugg, I. James, J. Gwennap. Replacements (all used) - Z. Harris, S. Dugdale, S. Powell, A. Gwennap, D. Bateman, L. Williams. Scorers - tries: Weston, Quick, Hosking, Harris, pen try; cons: Trezise (2); pens: Trezise (2). Pirates 2nds - 'Amateurs' 39 Helston 10 Saturday 13th October, 2007
Truro 2nds 22 Pirates 'Amateurs' 41 29th. September, 2007 Visiting Truro on Saturday for a Cornwall Merit Table match, the Pirates 'Amateurs' played particularly well in the first half, scoring some fine tries through Zac Harris, James Trezise and Ashley Weston, and looking totally in control when arriving at the interval 29-0 up. To their credit, the home team came back strongly in the second half, before a late try from fly-half Nathan Glinski, which he also converted, finally put the result beyond doubt. Pirates Amateurs: B. Quick, E. Skewes, J. Trezise, A. Snell, N. Hosking, N. Glinski, A. Weston, T. Ball, M. Pascoe, S. Powell, M. Nicholas, Z. Harris, M. Blewett, W., Davey, T. Williams (capt).

Pirates Amateurs 22 Redruth Junior Development XV 22 Saturday 6th. October, 2007 This merit table game kicked off on the Mennaye Field at 12 noon, thus giving players and officials the opportunity to watch England play Australia in Saturday's thrilling Rugby World Cup quarter-final encounter. Conditions on the day were just about perfect, the Pirates grateful for a late penalty kicked by fly-half Nathan Glinski which secured a well deserved draw. Pirates Amateurs: B. Quick, K. Walsh, T. McFadden, A. Snell, N. Hosking, N. Glinski, A. Weston, T. Ball, M. Pascoe, T. Hands, M. Grieg, S. Powell, M. Nicholas, I. James (capt), T. Williams. Scorers - tries: Pascoe, Hosking, McFadden - cons; Glinski (2) pen: Glinski. Penryn 2nds 7 Pirates 'Amateurs' 57 Saturday 15th September 2007 The Pirates 'Amateurs' won this Merit Table game comfortably thanks to the platform provided 'up front', and despite there being uncontested scrums in the second half. Props Treve 'Tank' Williams and Daniel Lugg were particularly strong ball carriers, whilst another front-row forward who is normally a hooker, Ben Gibson, ran well after sportingly slotted in out on the wing! Pirates Amateurs: Scorers - Pirates 2nds 55 St. Ives 2nds 0 8th. September 2007 Arriving with a weakened front five, it was always likely that the visitors from St. Ives would struggle, and so it proved. Domination at the set pieces enabled the Pirates to make good use of acquired possession as they ran in nine tries, the pick of which was an effort from Andrew Snell which saw him run 60 metres to the posts. Scorers - tries: Davey (2), Powell, Weston, Walsh, Snell, Skewes, Quick, Bryant; cons: Glinski (4), Snell. Pirates - B. Quick, E. Skewes, T. McFadden, A. Snell, K. Walsh, N. Glinski, A. Weston, T. Ball, W. Davey (capt), S. Powell, M. Nicholas, Z. Harris, M. Blewett, I. James, T. Williams. Helston 5 Pirates 2nds 24 25th. August, 2007 This pre-season 'friendly' was hard-fought on a hot, very hot August afternoon. The 'match' was played in three x 20 minute sessions, it only in the final twenty that the Pirates were dominant. Try-scorers for the visitors were Matt Rashleigh (2), Dave Lawrence and Kevin Walsh. Fly-half Nathan Glinski added two conversions. Pirates 2nds - E. Skewes, S. Dugdale, B. Quick, M. Crumb, K. Walsh, N. Glinski, G. Tackle, T. Ball For further information please contact either |
