Lymm 24 – 34 Camborne
Camborne ran in six tries on their long trip to Cheshire to inflict only a 2nd home defeat of the season on the hosts and remain top of the National Two West table.
With a strong wind blowing across the artificial turf pitch the Cherry & Whites made a dream start with full back Kyle Moyle racing clear for an early try well converted by Rory O’ Kane.
Playing with pace and tempo ‘Town’ soon stretched their lead to 12-0 when Ben Priddey was driven over for his 25th touchdown of the season.
Only a knock on at close range prevented a further Camborne score midway through the half before a moment of Alex Ducker magic on 34 minutes increased the advantage. Receiving the ball inside his own half the mercurial left wing weaved his way through the home cover on a 60 metre run to the goal line.
The visitors lead remained at 17 points up until the break but the try bonus point was soon in the bag on the resumption for the 2nd period. Skipper Sam Matavesi’s pass found centre brother Josh who burst through the defensive line and offloaded to flanker Jordan Nicholls to romp over. Fly half O’Kane added the extras with a well judged kick.
Though the home side promptly bagged a try to open their account the Cherry & Whites responded on 53 minutes with hooker Priddey again profiting from a catch and drive.
Inside the final quarter Priddey completed his hat trick this time peeling off the back of a driving maul to power over as ‘Town’ went out of sight at 34-5.
With Camborne emptying the bench to their credit Lymm hit back hard scoring a brace of quickfire tries one of which was converted to reduce the arrears.
Late on the home side bagged a losing try bonus point but the Cherry & Whites were not to be denied another deserved victory.
