Montgomery helps Pirates to thumping win

Warriors back-row forward Caleb Montgomery helped Cornish Pirates to a thumping 52-17 win over Nottingham at the Mennaye Field in the Championship on Saturday.

Montgomery, who has been on an extended loan spell with Pirates, started at number eight and played the first 56 minutes of a bonus point win.

It was a first outing in six weeks for Montgomery and Pirates following the postponement of three matches owing to positive COVID tests.

But they showed no signs of rustiness after the long lay-off as they ran in seven tries.

Warriors lock Cheick Kone came off the bench for Luctonians who were edged out 19-14 at Loughborough Students in National Two North.
