[the final report of the season from Vice Captain Tom Day:]
On the final day of the 2015/16 rugby season a strong crowd filled the sidelines despite the weather at Philleigh on Saturday to watch Cornwall Two Champions Roseland try and go undefeated in the league against Camelford. [Read more…]
Our second visit to Camelford was a much more successful trip than our first. We had a great club trip out on the bus, plus the team played better giving us a solid win.
Team performance was back to our normal standards, with Matt Eddy getting all 4 conversions.
A great game, thanks Camelford for hosting us this weekend.
[Tom was busy butchering – so only a short report this week]
The next game will be the annual Boxing Day clash with Truro. It’s at Truro this year, and kick off it rumoured to be about 12.30 – but has not yet been confirmed. We’ll update you as soon as we know.
On another blustery Saturday afternoon Roseland travelled to Camelford for the final league game of the “first half” of the season.
The final score of 6-3 to Roseland told the whole story. In a game of few chances created by either side this result went the way of the team that kicked their penalty goals. [Read more…]
Yesterday Roseland clocked up another Tribute Cup win, despite a slow start and some strong attacking play from Camelford.
Thanks to Camelford for a great game, and hospitality and we look forward to coming to play you again soon.
By which point we’ll get the right location for the pitch onto the website!
UPDATED Dec 2015 – after last season’s errors!
Directions to Camelford RFC are a little complicated so here goes…
Are at at Camelford Leisure Centre PL32 9UE
However, last week’s ref (5th Dec 2015) suggested there is more space in ‘the girls changing rooms at the school’ (I think primary school, but I don’t know for sure – one for you Starky)
Once you’re changed it’s time to drive convoy-style to the pitch which is at Lane End Farm [which is NOT in Davidstow]
Pitch is the red X – plenty of parking there.
At the Conservative Club PL32 9PB back in Camelford, just over the bridge, and there is a Free Car Park on the pitch side of the bridge.
The reward for reaching the Conservative Club is pints very cheap.
It was a beautiful afternoon for a game of rugby, and both sides played an exciting, fast-paced game.
After a bit of a slow start Roseland got the score board moving, and kept Camelford from getting started.
Roseland’s try scorers included Andy Harris getting his first Roseland try.
Next week we’re playing Penryn 2nds at home (kick off 2.30).
On the 28th it’s the second of our four Tribute Cup Pool games against Llankelly-Fowey. And away game with a supporters and players coach being organised see here for more details and to make sure your name is on the list.
Not an easy game today.
Camelford took the lead for most of the first half, putting Roseland under a lot of pressure.
But, the boys pulled it back and even scored when reduced to just 14 men due to injury.
Well, the next 3 weekends we now have friendlys! So no break in games, first 2 are away, then the third is at home – so we finish the month with 2 games at Philleigh:
