Cornish Pirates lost 38-14 to Bedford Blues in a Champ league match.
Cornish Pirates were beaten 38-14 by Bedford Blues in a Champ league match at Goldington Road. The defeat came after Pirates had defeated Ealing Trailfinders 35-33 the previous weekend.
Bedford scored five tries in the match. Dean Adamson gave the hosts a 14th-minute lead, with Michael le Bourgeois scoring a second try before half-time to make it 14-7. In the second half, Marcus Kershaw scored a minute after the restart, followed by two tries from Lucas Titherington within six minutes. Arthur Relton scored a consolation try for Pirates in the final minute, with a penalty try awarded to Pirates during the first half.
Joint-head coach Gavin Cattle told BBC Radio Cornwall the team looked 'flat' for a second consecutive away fixture. He cited nine or ten turnovers in the first half and a lack of continuity in their play, saying the side failed to consistently piece patches of play together. The loss leaves Pirates eighth in the Champ table.
