Cornish Pirates

April 5 2008
With three matches to go the run down to the end of the season is well on it's way and both sides will be looking for a win after last weekend. Pirates must be the favourites but anything goes in a local derby!!!
This Weekend
v 
Pirates v Albion
Sunday 06 April
K.O. 3 pm
A local derby that needs to raise the standard of play within Albion if they are going to be left with any credibility at the end of the season.
With both Albion and Pirates unexpectingly losing last weekend both sides will be looking for that 'W' on Sunday.
With Jannie and Gully looking to play for Pirates next season what will be the feeling on the pitch and with other players still looking at confirming their contracts at other clubs will they be putting their bodies on the line?
