It s been nearly 12 months since the Cornish Pirates last played a game at the Mennaye Field, but the wait is nearly over. On Saturday, Pirates will line up against Jersey Reds in a warm-up friendly fixture in preparation of the upcoming Championship season. In an interview on Facebook, joint head coach, Gavin Cattle, said: We expect it to be a bit disjointed, but for us it’s about getting that contact level up. It will be a big test in term of new combinations and stuff like that but the result is not something we’re really focussed on, we’re trying a few things and a few combinations.
