Cornish Pirates 55 Pertemps Bees 14
Cornish Pirates 55 Pertemps Bees 14
Pertemps Bees found the Pirates in rampaging mood
as they ended their National One away programme with another heavy defeat at
the Camborne Recreation Ground.
The Bees hopes to gatecrash the Pirates' celebration party after the Cornishmen
won the EDF Energy National Trophy at Twickenham last week. But they were blown
away by a seven try blitz in the second half and once again had to content themselves
with contributing to the entertainment in a free-flowing contest.
The match appeared to be in the balance when the Bees turned around only 14
points adrift. But forwards Mark Gabey and Dan Tuohy began the second half in
the sin-bin and the Pirates made their extra man count.
Winger James Moore ran in a hat-trick of tries for the Pirates, former Saracens
full-back Adryan Winnan got two and two penalty tries were awarded as the Bees
struggled to staunch the flow of points.
There were two second half consolation tries for the Bees from Fijian flanker
Akapusi Qera and winger Reece Spee with Rod Petty and Jon Higgins adding a conversion
apiece.
But it made for a tough end of season trip for the Bees faithful who made the
long trip south and was the second 50-points plus reverse on the road this season.
SPEE FIT FOR PIRATES TRIP (April 20 2007)
Pertemps Bees winger Reece Spee will return to action
in the National League One game against Cornish Pirates at Camborne Recreation
Ground on Sunday April 22.
Spee missed last week's heavy defeat at Newbury because of a knee injury but
he passed a fitness test at training last night and replaces Adam Billig, who
cannot travel because his wife is due to go into labour this weekend, in the
starting XV.
Prop Matt Long has also been named in the side and will travel to Cornwall.
But the England Counties international will require a late fitness test on a
calf injury sustained at Newbury before the team is finalised.
The other change to the starting line-up is on the blindside flanker where Leo
Halavatau has been recalled in a swap with Will Matthews.
Back-row forwards Tom Rawlins and Mark George have both been rested as they
are due to play for Hartpury College in next Wednesday's BRitish Universities
Sports Association final against UWIC (Cardiff Institute) at Twickenham.
Backs coach Ben Harvey has again been named as one of the replacements after
he came off the bench to make his seasonal debut at Newbury.
"Ben has got a sore back but he will definitely be on the bench this weekend,"
said Steve Williams, Pertemps Bees' head coach.
"It sums up our current injury situation that even the coaches are injured!"
Pertemps Bees: 15 Matt Nuthall; 14 Reece Spee, 13 Tristan Davies, 12 Dave Knight, 11 Kyle Palm; 10 Jon Higgins, 9 Rod Petty; 1 Matt Long, 2 Matt Miles, 3 Tom Court, 4 Mark Gabey (captain), 5 Alex Davidson, 6 Leo Halavatau, 7 Akapusi Qera, 8 Matt Larsen. Replacements: Dan Tuohy, Will Matthews, Emyr Lewis, Casey Dunning, Dean Miller, Simon Martin, Ben Harvey.
