Camborne beat Dings Crusaders 57-38 for fifth away win

Camborne maintained their 100 per cent away record in National One with an impressive nine try win in Bristol.

Playing at pace on the Dings artificial turf surface the Cherry & Whites were on the scoreboard early as Josh Matavesi crashed over for Fraser Honey to convert.

Although the hosts promptly levelled the visitors were soon back in front after winning a scrum penalty that presented the field position from where impressive No 8 Herbie Stupple crossed for 7-12.

A yellow card on 18 minutes reduced the hosts to 14 men and "Town" duly capitalised, bagging their bonus point with two tries in quick succession.

First centre Matavesi charged over to complete his brace after an unstoppable burst.

Next brother hooker Sam went in off the back of a line-out catch and drive for fly half Honey to add the extras for a 17 point advantage.

Restored to their full complement Dings cut the arrears with an unconverted score but a 35th minute show and go touchdown from livewire scrum half Dan Roderick, improved by Honey, gave the visitors a commanding 31-12 interval lead.

Soon after the resumption a trademark Stupple charge broke the cover to take play deep into home territory from where young full back Oli Roberts, with plenty to do, bagged a blindside corner try.

Almost immediately Camborne went out of sight at 12-43 when giant lock George Smith's delightful offload sent Jago Sheppard romping over for a try converted by Honey.

The hosts responded with a couple of good scores but unfortunately were thereafter unable to field a front row following injuries with the resulting uncontested scrums taking the sting out of the final quarter.

"Town" brought up their half century on 62 minutes when replacement back rower Barnaby Elderkin powered through the home defence to set up flanker Sheppard for his 2nd touchdown, again improved by Honey.

A fifth Dings try duly cut the arrears to 50-31 before skipper Sam Matavesi steered over an unstoppable close range maul for the final visiting dot down with Honey slotting the extras.

With time almost up the home side bagged a late long range consolation but Camborne were not to be denied a fifth consecutive away victory.
