Pirates go into tomorrow’s game at Coventry having won five of their last six matches.

FT - Cov 19 Pirates 21
Incredible performance from the whole squad to get 3 tries and a win on the road against Coventry who were top of the league.
This win was built on a huge defensive performance by the pirates in a very physical encounter.
Huge plaudits to the whole squad and coaches, enjoy your evening and have a safe trip back home.
