Cornish Pirates lost at league leaders Ealing in their last game

Cornish Pirates joint-head coach Gavin Cattle says he is pleased he has been able to secure a number of his experienced players for next season.

The Champ side have renewed the deals of 10 players for next season, as well as signing Ealing loanee Tomiwa Agbongbon on a permanent deal.

Pirates are seventh in the Champ with two games to play as they aim for a top six finish and a place in the post-season play-offs.

"The aim of the game is basically to secure the spine of the team," Cattle told BBC Radio Cornwall.
