Fightback not enough as Cornwall lose at Rochdale

Harry Aaronson scored two tries for Cornwall

Five tries in the final 27 minutes were not enough for Cornwall as they lost 46-32 at Rochdale Hornets in League One.

The Choughs, who went into the game at Spotland after a win at Newcastle Thunder a week before, were 46-6 behind with 30 minutes left after the hosts had run in eight tries.

But Harry Aaronson began the fightback three minutes later before David Weetman got a second try soon after.

Jacob Bateman got a debut try with 13 minutes left before Aaronson scored a second and Cameron Brown went over.

Rochdale's win moves them up to third place in the table while Cornwall remain second-from-bottom with three wins from 13 games.
