Supporter Information: Caldy Cup

Cornish Pirates’ supporters will be looking forward to this Saturday’s Round 5 game in the Championship Cup (ko 2.30pm), because a victory would assure a semi-final place for the team. Having said that, we expect nothing less than a tough contest.

The sides have already met twice this season, with both games played at Caldy’s Paton Field ground. The Pirates won 26-7 in the Cup last November, before in December snow they lost 15-14 in the league.

General information to note:

Tickets – Tickets for the game – it a first for the two teams at the Mennaye Field – will be available at the gates on the day from 12.30pm, whilst in the meantime they can also be purchased on-line. For further information please visit:                                                                                                     www.cornish-pirates.com/tickets

Season Ticket Holders – Season ticket holders should note that your season ticket includes a voucher for free entry to Saturday’s Round 5 Cup game (use voucher C). Should, however, we ultimately have a home semi-final and final, then those games would be all pay.

Growing Links – The response to support ‘Growing Links’ has been encouraging, with thanks once more to one and all. Please note for this week, and for future games, your donations of tinned and non-perishable goods should be dropped off at the old Tea Bar in the clubhouse corner of the ground from 12.30 – 2.30pm.

Reusable Cups in Support of The RNLI – Many are helping us to proudly support the RNLI! Supporters don’t have to purchase a reusable non-refundable pint ‘cup’, which costs £1 only from the marquee. However, if you do then 100% of ALL proceeds go towards helping save lives at sea.
