Camborne are capable of taking on the top teams in National One after winning their first game since promotion, says coach Ricky Pellow.

The Cornish side came back from 29-14 down at half time to run out 38-36 winners at Leeds Tykes to begin their campaign in the third tier with a bonus-point victory.

Ben Priddey scored two tries, while Josh Matavesi, Alex Ducker and Ben Prisk also scored as full-back Rory O’Kane scored the decisive penalty late on.

“You look at the age of the squad, and there’s a lot of young players in there that have played their first game for the club and also Nat One, so they’re going to learn a lot,” Camborne sporting director and former Exeter skills coach Pellow told BBC Radio Cornwall.

“Obviously the boys are going to be apprehensive going into the game, not knowing what Nat One rugby would be like.

“Now they know, and they know that they can compete, and they know that they can challenge the top teams in the league.”

Camborne’s first home game is this weekend, as they face Plymouth Albion in a cross-Tamar derby.
