Penryn, under new coaching team Donna Darby and Scott Martin, had an excellent first half scoring four tries through flankers Paige Clarke and Heather Holmes. Also scoring were fly half Georgia Hall and Centre Milly Osman, Hall converting one try.

In a much closer second half Penryn scored three more tries through winger Lauren Angove - full back Lucy Mehta and Milly Osman getting a second try, Georgia Hall again getting one conversion. Crediton scored four tries of their own including three for England under 18 wing Tilly Pulfer.
