Battling Hornets can't stop high-flying Camborne

A BRAVE Hinckley fell short against a Camborne side who, even at this stage of the season, are being touted as odds-on favourites to lift the title this year.

They have won four out of four with maximum bonus points and already established clear water between themselves and the chasing pack.

Hinckley, on the other hand, are now languishing in 11th place with a solitary win to their name after a disappointing start to the season.

In fairness, the Hornets have struggled badly with injuries and are yet to field what many would consider their strongest side.

Few actually expected Hinckley to get close to the table-toppers before the game so it was something of a surprise when the teams went in at the break with the hosts having their noses in front.

But hopes of a surprise victory were ended in the second half as the visitors ran in five tries and left Hinckley for dead.
