Fast,furious and finally Burnham produced a display that we know they are capable of. Against a side that were physically much larger, Burnham’s defensive efforts were eventually,what sealed the match for them.
Kiwi Muskett led the way with his no nonsense tackling inspiring his teammates to step up to the mark.
Within the first 4 minutes Sammy Lewis sent a speculative grubber kick behind Truro’s back line and then raced forward to scramble over the line and touch down out wide on the left wing. Tim Piper stepped up for the conversion. Never any doubt.7-0
5 minutes later after many successful phases the ball was sent out wide for Felix Grandfield  to round the last man and cross the line. Piper duly obliged.14-0
15 minutes later Truro at last scored a pushover try with their much heavier pack.14-5.J ust before half-time Burnham were awarded a penalty on Truro’s 10 metre line converted by Piper with consummate ease.17-5. Halftime.
From the restart Truro showed their mettle and after exerting pressure on Burnham’s forwards they rumbled over the line.17-10.
3 minutes later Burnham retaliated when Piper burst through the middle before releasing Sam Everett to streak under the posts. Piper added the extra.24-10
Back came Truro, good pressure and movement resulting in a try out wide.24-15.
Burnham kept up their defensive effort, gaining another turnover, a quick ball out to Pike, and 3successful phases allowing Adam Peters to shoot through a gap to score under the posts.31-15.
5 minutes later after a good lineout ball, followed by smart offloading enabled Piper to drift through before finding a marauding Jude Donnelly sprinting under the posts.38-15.
However Truro were not finished yet snatching 2 tries and a conversion in the last few minutes.
Final score 38-27.
A stellar performance by Burnham, especially in the defence. department.
Man of the match Kiwi Muskett.
