Honours go to Redruth IIs in close encounter at the Rec

The Sinners will look to themselves knowing it was a match that they could and should've won but it was so tight!
The Sinners started very strongly, and the Redruth side struggled against wave after wave of attacks a rolling maul from beyond 22 meters had skipper Tom Daniel opening the scoring.

Both teams were intent on making a statement some massive hits one resulting in an injury to Todd Jago with Luke Ripley coming on to take a post on the wing and Alex Welland moving inside. Redruth slowly worked themselves back in to Sinner's half and a well worked try was scored out wide the missed conversion had the scores level at 5-5 the Sinners were playing some of the best rugby of the season to date and moved their way to Hellfire and the elusive feet of Toby Hodson put the Sinners back in front.

Redruth rallied again to finish the half with a penalty, it really was end to end stuff a good crowd enjoying hard rugby
The second half had Redruth start strongly and they managed to camp in the visitors 22 eventually sucking in the defence and gaining the ascendency with 2 tries one under the posts for the forwards and their backs linking up in textbook style to score out wide,
The Sinners rolled with the punches and came back again, it was gutsy determined sometimes not pretty and George Hutchinson could have set the grandstand finished up had the ball not have been knocked out of his hands when diving to score. However, the sinners kept the pressure on and Kaydan Michael burst through the defence George converted its 18-17 wit 2 mins to play.

It was Redruth who got to close the game out opting for a penalty kick shortly after the restart it was a setback for the Sinners yet you can't win every match you certainly learn from them. The Sinners are still in a strong position in the league with the leaders Saltash next up at Tregorrick in a fortnights time.
