Our Future

Noting our history, as we look to the future the Cornish Pirates still steadfastly maintain a positive focus.

During times when in open and honest terms not everything has evolved as we would have wished for, the team on the field has still admirably achieved, supported by a dedicated backroom staff and, of course, the always stoic and determined Dicky Evans, now Sir Richard Evans KCMG

Indeed, under Dicky’s leadership the Pirates have risen from a Division 7 amateur club to a leading professional Championship team, that still has a drive to compete in the Premiership. It is felt that Cornwall can support a Premiership Rugby Club and the ultimate plan is still to make that happen.

In March 2022 Dicky announced his three- year ‘Sunset Plan’ to complete his investment in the Cornish Pirates.

In January 2025 a new consortium took over from Dicky with a determination to continue the rise of Cornish Pirates.
