St Ives Clinch League Title at Chard
Chard 10 v 19 St Ives Last weekend the St Ives 1st XV took the long trip to Somerset side Chard for their latest Western Counties West League game. The Hakes travelled knowing that the 7 points needed to confirm them as league champions were out of reach unless other results went their way. The game began with Chard having all the early territory and they kept St Ives pinned back in their own half for long periods. Their pressure was rewarded with a try in the 13th minute, th

Truro 13 v St Ives 38 Last Saturday St Ives travelled to Truro for their latest Western Counties West League game. Back in the side for this game was Harry Parton in the second row, but other than that the side was mostly unchanged from the win over Torquay a fortnight ago.

St Ives began the game
Strong Squad for Truro
Head coaches Paul Thirlby and Rob Elloway have announced a strong squad to tackle their visit to local rivals Truro tomorrow. Truro have not had a happy time of it in 2018, with four loses, two of which were at home. Two games in February brought a partial return to form with an away win at Falmouth and a home draw against Paignton 31:31. St Ives recorded a 41:19 victory over Truro early in November, the first game of their magnificent run of wins. However, last season The Ha
