We caught up with Assistant Coach Jonny Brown after the 1st XV win at home on Saturday...

"A welcome performance and a five-point win against St Ives at the weekend, albeit with plenty still to work on. We’ve had some frustrating results of late, and all three losses could easily have been wins, with each decided by a single score.

We started well and our defence held firm for large parts of the first half, but silly mistakes allowed St Ives to stay with us. Going into half-time just 21–20 ahead, there was a chance it could follow a similar pattern to those recent defeats. But the lads didn’t panic. We knew that if we stuck to our system, we could break St Ives down, and we played some good, composed rugby in the second half to pull away, scoring some nice tries in the way we like to play.

Across the board, the players delivered the kind of performances we know they’re capable of. Cal Crocker looked comfortable and dangerous at 15, the pack put us on the front foot, and Billy Whalley had a strong game as he continues to grow into the 13 shirt. We also had two more debutants in Oli Rylance and Ollie Broom (Sooty). Congratulations, gents—hopefully the first of many appearances.

In the huddle after the game It felt like the shackles of recent weeks came off, smiles on faces and summed up by Blatchford's quote of “that feels bloody better doesn’t it” and we have a great opportunity to build on that at home again this weekend as we welcome Redruth. They haven’t had the best start, but, like us, they’ve been involved in some close games. We certainly won’t take them lightly; anyone in this league can beat anyone on their day.

We’ll prepare well this week and be ready to empty the tanks on Saturday before a week off." J.B
