Cornish Pirates coach Joe Walsh wants the Champ side to build on the momentum of their first win in six games.

Pirates beat Ampthill 45-24 last week to end a five-game losing streak that had seen them slip to eighth in the second tier.

They travel to 11th-placed Doncaster on Saturday before hosting 13th-placed London Scottish and then heading to the Wirral to meet ninth-placed Caldy.

"We've got to do our two longest away trips back-to-back," Walsh told BBC Radio Cornwall.

"So putting in a good performance and getting a result this weekend is massive for us.

"If we can put this result together, if we could go and get a win against Scottish, you're rolling into Caldy three in-a-row.

"That'd be really a big one for us to try and build some momentum through this block, but it's a massive test ahead for us."
