STOP PRESS
Change of venue, the match will now be played at The University of Exeter Sports Park, Streatham Campus, Stocker Road, Exeter, EX4 4QN. Please go to car park ‘B’, the match is now unfortunately on a 3G pitch, rather than the grass pitch at Topsham, and is marked on the map as ‘Rugby’.

On Saturday morning Redruth RFC make the short trip up the A30 (and a little of the M5) to the capital of Devon to take on Exeter University.

The 'Students' are having a very good season and currently sit in 3rd place on 66 points having won 12 of their 20 matches. As ever with the University sides they play a fast game and whilst we would all like to see some dry weather, a little damp in the pitch doesn't do any harm!
Exeter's top try scorers are Toby Ferguson and Edward Volley (both wings) with 7 each and their top points scorer is Jack Park (Fly-Half/Full-Back) with 102 points.
Back in November at the Rec Redruth came out on top by 29-22 after a very strong 2nd half performance.

Last week the Reds fought out a 17-17 draw with Hornets when the Reds showed great patience at the death to get the equalising score. This was remarkably the Reds 3rd draw of the season. This shows how tight the league is as if the three draws were wins the Reds could well be level on points with Exeter (we won't work out the scenario if they were defeats!).
Redruth are now in 8th place with 57 points having won 10 and drawn 3 of their 20 matches.
Stats: Frankie Nowell leads the try charts with 7 just ahead of Ben Fox and Mat Pritchard with 6, Rhys Brownfield just tops the scoring list with 43.

Referee: James Milliner
Assistant Referees: Ian Morgan & Stu Collins.

If you are travelling take a coat as there isn't any cover at the ground to shelter under. If you are staying at home then catch the 2nd team at the Recreation ground as they take on Camborne School of Mines in 'Counties 2 Tribute Cornwall' at 2.30pm continuing their attempt to win the league.
