A key Saturday in the season for London Cornish as the 1s overcome extraordinary odds to fend off 4th placed Hove at the REMPF, a 5 try 29-22 victory lifting the exiles to 6th in Counties 1 Surrey/Sussex. Cornish lost a back before the match, another in the opening quarter and 2 more following a sickening head clash 15 minutes from the end, resulting in the team playing the last quarter with 14 men including 2 forwards in the backline, Hove scoring 2 tries in that period. The tries come courtesy of Reuben Salisbury, Matt Hakes, Robbie Mackay (2) (seen leaving defenders in his wake on his way to his second) and Mike Edworthy, with the fly half converting 2. The 2s produce a seasons best performance to thump Grasshoppers 2s by 61-5 away from home in the MMT Div 1, 10 tries scored by the lads on the road! 1s photos to follow in the next day or two.
