Camborne 52 - Macclesfield 25

Camborne made a solid start to their National Two West season with an eight try victory over a spirited Macclesfield at the Recreation Ground, writes Martin Symons.

The home side included new signings Kyle Moyle and CJ Boyce in the back line whilst Jack Andrew and Dan Marais made their debuts up front. In addition young back row Kaea Griffiths got a first taste of senior action from the bench in the final quarter.

Playing up the slope the Cherry & Whites led 17-13 at the break following touchdowns from hooker Ben Priddey, centre Connor Gilbert and No 8 Aden Brassington, who was returning from a long injury lay off, with Josh Matavesi adding a conversion.

After the interval the visitors briefly lead before ‘Town’ turned on the style by running in five sparkling long range tries to notch 35 unanswered points.

Man of the match Brassington added two tries to complete his hat trick whilst influential centre Matavesi, full back Harry Larkins and left wing Alex Ducker also crossed. Fly half Moyle who had taken over the kicking duties landed five conversions.

Macclesfield bagged a late try to take a losing bonus point with them on the long trip back to Cheshire.
