Eadie has the last laugh for Hartpury

Openside Harry Short also scored a brace as Hartpury utilised their forward dominance to score eight tries in an enthralling end to-end clash at the university stadium.

It continues the side’s winning streak over struggling Caldy – who haven’t won for three months and are at risk of finishing at the league’s basement.

Man of the match, Hartpury No.8 Eadie said: “We’re pleased with the win, but there’s still some yo-yoing when it comes to our games, we need to find consistency and hopefully can continue this form. We strive to play expansive rugby with confidence, and this result will really bring that confidence we need for the coming weeks.”
