Cornish Pirates

With three matches to go the run down to the end of the season is well on it's way and both sides will be looking for a win after last weekend. Pirates must be the favourites but anything goes in a local derby!!!

This Weekend

v
Pirates v Albion
Sunday 06 April
K.O. 3 pm

A local derby that needs to raise the standard of play within Albion if they are going to be left with any credibility at the end of the season.

With both Albion and Pirates unexpectingly  losing last weekend both sides will be looking for that 'W' on Sunday.

With Jannie and Gully looking to play for Pirates next season what will be the feeling on the pitch and with other players still looking at confirming their contracts at other clubs will they be putting their bodies on the line?

I take your point C.K.2 but don't forget we are an international network and as such even cover Cambridge, no stone is left unturned, hope this applies to signing new players as well.

Semper Sersum.

Eek! Sign o' the times or what? Welsh give Donnie a spanking and leapfrog Albion in the table.

C'mon boys - raise your game and put one over the pesky Pirates!
