Camborne 66 – 31 Chester
Camborne completed their National Two West title winning season in style with a comprehensive ten try victory over Chester.
In front of a crowd of more than 1,500 in the sunshine at the Recreation Ground the Cherry & Whites gave an exhibition of running rugby to go out of sight by half time.
An early try from scrum half CJ Boyce converted by Kyle Moyle set the tone before a storming run from lock Adam Hughes set up wing Harry Larkins for a touchdown and 12-0.
Though the visitors replied with a try, still inside the 1st quarter Ben Priddey powered over from close range for ‘Town’ with full back Moyle again converting. Hooker Priddey duly repeated the dose on 28 minutes to secure the bonus point and take his try scoring tally to 39 in another remarkable campaign.
On the occasion of his 100th cap flanker Sam Matavesi was next to cross fittingly set free on his route to the goal line after an offload from brother Josh.
On the half time whistle skipper Matavesi completed his brace of scores with Moyle improving both efforts for a 38-5 interval lead.
Camborne began the 2nd half in similar style to the 1st with Moyle’s astute pass releasing flanker Jordan Nicholls to run in unopposed.
Chester hit back with a close range score before centre Josh Matavesi set No 8 Herbie Stupple free to thunder fully 30 metre to the line and bring up the half century.
The visitors bagged a 3rd try before some sublime handling by Moyle and Rory O’ Kane delivered a ninth try for the Cherry & Whites touched down by Moyle on his farewell appearance in the jersey.
The spirited visitors deservedly gained a bonus point with two more late scores sandwiched between a sparkling individual try from wing Alex Ducker his 22nd touchdown of the season with fly half O’Kane adding the extras.
On the final whistle Camborne were presented with the National Two West trophy to spark an evening of celebrations.
