CAMBORNE played some of their best attacking rugby of the season to run in seven tries in a comprehensive victory over their Bristol visitors, writes Martin Symons.

In splendid conditions at the Recreation Ground, Town gave young Andrius Zachorovas a start at prop whilst stalwart Martin Woolcock came into the back row.

Avonmouth were first on the scoreboard with a second minute try from Joe Wearne which the scrum half also converted.

The same player added a brace of first quarter penalties after David Mankee had opened the home account with the score at 3-13.

Though facing the slope, the Cherry and Whites then hit top gear to add 15 points in a ten minute purple patch before half time.

First, scrum-half Taron Peacock took a quick tap penalty to send industrious lock Tony Whittle plunging over and soon after fly-half Mankee ran a loop move and full-back Gareth Mankee fed on to Alex Ducker who cut inside from the left flank to dot down.

As the interval neared, a sustained spell of pressure saw Cameron Bone adding the third home try taking a good angle to the turnstile corner flag for an 18-13 advantage at half time.

Almost from the restart the home side duly bagged the bonus point try when the forwards drove from a line out and from close range centre Grant Thirlby put skipper Steve Kenward in enough space to crash over near the posts. Mankee booted the conversion and then added a 51st minute penalty to put his team out of sight at 28-13.

On the hour mark, wing Ducker ran on to a chip ahead to touch down and Mankee added the extras superbly from the touchline.

Flanker Bone then completed his brace of touchdowns after Ducker again made good ground, before inside the last ten minutes the spirited visitors gained some consolation with an unconverted try.

In stoppage time and with Avonmouth attacking, Ducker picked off a pass and raced the length of the field to collect his hat-trick score and Mankee added the regulation conversion to wrap things up.

Next up for Town is a trip to Bideford on Saturday where the hosts have a formidable record with nine wins out of 11 at their ground, while Camborne have won just twice on the road this season.
