Launceston remain the only side in National League Two with a perfect record after running in four tries against Tynedale at Polson Bridge.

Launceston were 29-10 up on 50 minutes after two tries from Lewis Webb and one each from Ryan Westren and Sam Hocking.

But Tynedale, who had four players sin-binned during the game, mounted a comeback when back at full strength.

Ross Sampson touched down on 66 minutes and Robert Miller scored a try and a late penalty, but Launceston held on.

Cornish All Blacks joint head coach Chris Brown told BBC Radio Cornwall: "Sometimes when you're attacking for a long time you take your eye off the ball and that's certainly what we did.

"We let them come back into a game which ostensibly was dead.

"We're annoyed about it, but the flip side is we're 20 points from 20 points."
