Saltash 1st XV are set for their longest trip of the season when they travel north to Barnstaple 2nds (2pm KO ).

Saltash are without prop Liall Honey who is unavailable so Youth graduate Archie Wood is rewarded for some strong performances and comes onto the bench with Harry Richardson starting at tighthead prop.

In the backs, last weeks full back Ryan Cruiskshanks swaps positions in the back 3 with Henry Taylor, who moves to full back from the wing. Centre Andrew Walsh comes back into the centre birth for the unavailable Danny Snook.

The 2nd XV are at home in Counties 3 Tribute Cornwall to Camborne school of Mines (2.30pm KO).

Sunday sees Saltash Phoenix at home to Plymouth Argaum Tigresses in NC 3 Western (West) league (2.30pm KO)

SALTASH RFC STATEMENT

Representatives from Saltash RFC met on Tuesday 20th October with personnel from Aldi, their planning officer and Cavendish Consulting. The purpose of the meeting was to receive an update from them on their planning application on the site below the rugby pitch at Moorlands Lane.

During the meeting, while they informed us of the progress they had made to date regarding their planning application. The Rugby Club officials present were also given opportunity to express any concerns on the club's behalf around their proposed development on the site of the lower Burraton Field.

The club officials referred to the potential impact on the rugby pitch surface due to the increase in footfall of the general public across the rugby pitch to connect with the roundabout by Pillmere, as well as the additional informal recreation that would take place (dog exercising and other informal activities) on the rugby pitch the club leases that currently takes place on the land below.

There was also a concern raised around drainage issues from the rugby pitch due to precipitation and how it would drain away under any new building development on the lower part of burraton field.

Netting on the boundary is proposed to be at 6 metres in height to stop balls kicked landing on the supermarket site, and was expressed as of insufficient height.

Saltash RFC were made aware of the proposed replacement of activity site, which would be met by Aldi, and is related to the development of an out door sporting surface at Saltash Community School to a 3G standard, which from a rugby aspect was expressed as potentially insufficient to facilitate rugby being played, so clarity was sought around its suitability. Response is awaited.

Wow! We made the National News!

Well storm Austen did its best to disrupt our rugby, it succeeded with some clubs, damage to Perranporth Rugby Club. Posts, Saltash Rugby Club had both posts knocked down, but with the help of club sponsors were able to get them repaired and back up in time.

Rugby does happen without all those unsung hero’s in the background, well done to all our volunteers 👏👏

Today’s results.

It wasn't as we would have liked it today for both teams.

The 1st XV were beaten by a more savvy Truro side while our 2nd XV were over-whelmed by a solid Hayle side.

Our congratulations to Tom Hoban, our first ever Supporters Star player, despite other awards he had received. Our panel of Carol Launder, Andy Snook and Bill Ryan felt he had given so much to the Ashes cause.
