The Ashes have pushed some of the League's top sides close in recent weeks – and they were finally rewarded with this shock victory in West Cornwall.

Falmouth put 49 points past Saltash without reply earlier in the season, but met with much sterner opposition in this return fixture.

In the first half, Falmouth laid siege to the Saltash half, only to have two scoring opportunities held up on the line by a resolute Saltash side.
