Camborne beat Bishop’s Stortford 66-35 in National One

Camborne maintained 3rd spot in the National One table by running in no less than ten tries in the autumn sunshine at the Recreation Ground to record a comprehensive victory over Bishop’s Stortford.

After the crowd of more than 1,000 had paid their respects to the fallen in a short Remembrance Day service, the Cherry & Whites tore into the visitors, going 14-0 up in the opening minutes.

First to cross was scrum half Dan Roderick from Barnaby Elderkin’s break before the young flanker was again the provider as his inside pass sent centre Joel Matavesi in unopposed.

Fraser Honey added the extras to both scores.

A couple of long-range opportunist converted tries for the visitors then briefly levelled matters before a brace of catch-and-drive dot-downs from Ben Priddey plus a Honey conversion had “Town” 26-14 up as the interval neared.

On the half-time whistle, a home handling error presented a soft score for 26-21 at the break, but thereafter the hosts went up a gear coming down the slope, running up a total of 33 unanswered points to overpower the visitors.

Straight from the restart, industrious wing Frankie Nowell seized on a loose ball to race clear and soon after centre Josh Matavesi barged through two tacklers to touch down.

Skipper Sam Matavesi was next to cross, having been set free by a flanker Jordan Nicholls pass.

Fly-half Honey converted all three tries as “Town” went out of sight at 47-21 with nearly half an hour remaining.

On the hour, the Cherry & Whites brought up the half-century with a delightful score as Sam & Josh Matavesi combined with the all-action Nowell to send Elderkin diving over.

Honey again slotted the conversion.

As the game entered the closing stages, hooker Priddey was driven over in front of the West Bank, completing yet another hat-trick to make it 59-21.

To their credit, Bishop’s Stortford then battled back late on to bag a brace of converted scores, but on the final whistle the prolific Priddey pounced on a loose ball to touch down his 4th of the afternoon, taking him to 15 tries for the season.

Honey landed the conversion with the final kick of the game.
