Cornish Pirates 19-15 Moseley

The Cornish Pirates needed a late try by Irish winger Brian Tuohy to claim their first points at home since August on Sunday.

Tuohy's injury time try gave struggling Pirates a 19-15 win against Moseley, their third win in eight games.

A drop goal and two penalties from Rhys Jones gave Pirates a 9-3 lead.

Bertrand Bedes' try gave Pirates a 14-3 lead but unconverted tries from James Rodwell and Charlie Sharples put Mosely 15-14 in front before Tuohy struck.

Pirates head coach mark Hewitt told BBC Radio Cornwall: "We gave another performance which was a bit Jekyll and Hyde-ish.

"We were in control and then it slipped away again but we dug deep.

"I've got to give the boys credit because we fought in there until the end, but we should never have been in that situation in the first place."

The win moves the Pirates up to seventh in the National League One table.
