    BBC Sport

    Redruth boss Marek Churcher says his side's front row have been key to the club's good form.

    The Reds, who are fifth in National Two South, beat third-placed Chinnor 29-12 for a second win in a row.

    Redruth forwards

    "Tommy Phillips, Ben Priddey and Craig Williams really led the team from the front," Churcher told BBC Cornwall.

    "If your front row and front five are making 70-plus tackles in a game you're going to be doing well and that's what happened against Chinnor."

  10. Underground springs prompt ice road signs in Cornwall

    BBC Radio Cornwall

    These road signs may be something you'd expect to see near a ski resort, or up a mountain, but they are in a low-lying part of Cornwall, on the A390 near Truro.

    They've been put in place because of underground springs that can wash salt off the road after it has been gritted.

    Peter Tatlow, Network Manager from Cormac Solutions said they are the first ice road signs in Cornwall, and gritting trucks will be applying more salt in the area as a matter of course.

    Police, councils, and the Highways England have met to review their strategy to keep the A38 between Exeter and Plymouth and the A380 into Torbay open.
