Upper and Lower Evergreens were kindly invited by The Cornish Pirates to attend one of their matches against Cambridge.
Our day began by meeting Neil and Lee from The Pirates who met us at the Front Gate and gave out the tickets.
We made our way into the stadium and were directed to our own seating area.
After a little while we took lots of great pictures of the group looking forward to the match starting.
We were also excited to meet the mascot ‘Captain Benbow’ and take pictures with him.
Just before the match started we were honoured to be asked to perform a ‘Guard of Honour’ for the players by standing on the pitch and waving our flags as they ran past.
Once the players were on then pitch we made our way back to the grand stand to take our seats.
Pirates started off not doing very well and were behind in the first half.
In the second half The Pirates played quite brilliantly to score lots of tries and win the match.
During the second half we all got very excited and when The Pirates scored a ‘try’ we waved our signs to show our support.
The Pirates were victorious 45-18.
On the game finishing the players kindly came over to us and gave their autographs and took pictures with the students.
The players made us feel very welcome and asked if we had enjoyed the game.
We would like to thank the Pirates for inviting us to watch the match.
We would definitely want to cheer them on in the future.
GO PIRATES!!!!!!!!!!
