Cornwall Under 17’s continue their programme of matches on Wednesday evening at Polson Bridge against Devon.

Cornwall Under 17s travel to Chippenham RFC on Sunday to take on Dorset & Wilts.

Best of luck on the road lads.

The U17 development squad welcomed Dorset & Wilts on Sunday to Bodmin RFC, where we played two games, allowing both teams to use all their squad, reports U.17 Team Manager Paul Howard.

In hot conditions, the first game was a close affair with the Cornwall side show glimpses of quality with some good line breaks, but in the end Dorset & Wilts took the win with a late try from their centres, who were the difference between the two sides.

Final Score : 12 – 17

Tries : Court, Conroy   Conversion : Staddon

In the second game, Cornwall made a fast start scoring a try in the first few minutes, and then controlled the game throughout, keeping possession for long periods. This allowed Cornwall to pick and choose their opportunities and take a comfortable win.

Final Score : 17 – 5

Tries : Bennett, McKnight, Riggs    Conversion : Pellow

The U17 development squad has now completed their games for this season, and the Coaches now have a hard job narrowing down this development squad to the final U18 squad. A big thank you for all the boys making themselves available at the end of a long season.
