Last Time Out

18/11/07 - Cornish Pirates 28 Rotherham 18 – Camborne Rec

A somewhat forgettable match on a stormy day in West Cornwall. The Titans took an early ten point lead courtesy of a penalty and a converted try from former Pirates Neil Chivers before the Pirates rallied.

It was a battle alright but four tries were scored by the home side from Beardshaw, Kemp, Fairhurst and Motusaga. Rhodri got a yellow card, Vunga Lilo made his debut, the Titans scored a late consolation try and then the heavens opened to wash away the memories of a dull contest!

11/11/2006 – Earth Titans 18 Cornish Pirates 24 – Clifton Lane

On the day that Argentina won their first ever international at Twickenham the Pirates came back from the dead to overturn an 18-0 half-time deficit. With a howling gale at their back the Titans scored late tries in the half through Hennessey and Gareth Steenson.

The Irishman also converted his own try and slotted two penalties. After the break the tide turned dramatically.

Tries from Cattle and Winn converted by Di Bernardo along with a penalty from the little general reduced the arrears to 18-17 with ten minutes to go.

Lewis Vinnecombe snatched the win with a late try in the corner converted, this time from the touchline, by Alberto. The Titans folded and the points belonged to the Pirates.
