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.

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
