LEAGUE 1 ROUND-UP
CORNWALL coach Neil Kelly has praised his side for showing some second-half resilience.
In a difficult season, the Choughs have often seen the score run away from them in the late stages of contests.
Kelly admitted he feared similar in their recent defeat to high-flying North Wales Crusaders, but was pleased to see them limit their opponents to two scores in the half for a 36-12 full-time score.
"The scoreline was 62-22 when we played North Wales Crusaders earlier in the season," reflected Kelly.
"This time around, I was concerned in the final ten to 15 minutes that we might ship some soft scores, which would put a lopsided look on the scoreline.
"That is why I am saying that I have nothing but praise for the players because of the way they kept the line intact.
"The score was 12-6 in the second half and we can look at some scores that are avoidable – you can always do that. But North Wales have come down here and we have given them a good game without winning.
