Our new Pathway Squad enjoyed their first run out this evening with a convincing 52 – 13 win against an experienced Redruth Albany side.
Albany took and early lead with 2 penalties slotted by Joseph Etheridge-Ryan. For a time the experienced heads of Albany held the younger team in midfield before Harrison Bennetts broke through after some hard carrying by James Harrison-Evans. Tom Tanswell added the extras and Town took the lead.
Shortly after, another well worked series of hard carries released Tom Tanswell through to dot down for an easy conversion. 14 – 6.
After half time, the levels of fitness became evident. A series of close pick and gos saw Ewan Coulson cross for the first of Camborne’s six second half tries. Also converted by Tanswell.
Next saw Harry Clemo tear through the middle of the defence for another easily convertible score. 28 – 6.
Winger Piran Wheeler added to the collection on the far wing after receiving a well judged cross-field kick from Jacob Bennetts, caught by Wheeler midway inside the Albany 22, converted again by Tanswell. 35 – 6.
With only minutes passing and Harrison Bennetts on the side lines for an enforced 10 minute rest, Ben Green broke down the far wing, powering through with a series of punishing fends. Going over the line in the scoreboard corner, the conversion passing wide. 40 – 6.
Albany fought back and with Alfie Brooksbank joining Bennetts on the touch line for 10, Town emerged from a breakdown with the ball and Jackson Hocking made distance before being brought down in the 22, the ball was shipped and found Jack Powell who went over for an unconverted try. 45 – 6.
With the two man advantage, Albany’s giant lock, Curtis Hill slammed through the Town defence leaving an easy conversion for Joseph Etheridge-Ryan to slot. 45 – 13.
Ben Green swapped places with Harrison Bennetts with a third yellow for the youngsters, still two men down, Jack Penrose slipped through the Albany defence only to be brought down inches from the try line. The forwards piled in to assist allowing Bennetts to complete his brace and Tanswell to add his sixth conversion. 52 – 13.
