It's great to see Redruth recording a convincing win on the first day of the new season. They gave Wharfedale a good stuffing 29 - 8 and head the table thanks to the bonus point for four tries. It's just a little early to talk about promotion |

Although not quite a disaster on the level of the recent earthquake, last night's fire at the Reds ground was a bit of an unfortunate thing to happen particularly on a Friday before a match. I'm sure they will have many offers of a pitch on which to play tomorrow's game, but what a bit of a hassle to sort everything out at such short notice. Redruth must be top of the league table at least in Cornwall now for the number of substantial fires it's had over the years. But anyway good luck to them in sorting things out for tomorrow and the future and let's hope to see a good winning score against Orrell. Since writing the above I see they are using the Redruth ground for the match - "Following the fire at the Club overnight, Redruth RFC confirm that Saturday's game against Orrell WILL TAKE PLACE. Kick-off 3pm. There has been significant damage to the Clubhouse and part of the stand. A marquee will be erected from where drinks can be purchased. The dressing room and top bar area are largely undamaged. http://www.redruthrfc.com |

It begs the question if the part of the stand damaged will be re-built whilst Redruth, decide about re-location to Togus Mount? |

Oh no ruckinred your not trying to get us suspicious particularly after all that debate some months ago between those who think the Reds need a new ground and the traditionalists who want to stay where they are? Tell me I've read too much into your comment. |
