Important Information for Supporters!

Unique Double Header:   Saturday’s match for the Cornish Pirates versus Ampthill (ko 2pm) will form part of a unique double-header. The team is unbeaten at home in the Championship league this season, whilst the Pirates Amateurs, who in their final home game in the Tribute Cornwall & Devon league will face North Tawton (ko 3.45pm), are also similarly unbeaten. For each, should they emerge victorious, it would be a congratulatory first such achievement which would indeed be unique.

Both teams deserve to be well supported on the day – and they surely will be. Supporter importance cannot be underestimated and growing again this season it really does help when everyone gets behind the team – legally, as a sixteenth man!

RNLI Collection

Plus, Special Rugby Shirts to be Worn – & Auctioned:   A collection for the RNLI Penlee Branch will take place at the Ampthill game, plus the Pirates will be warming up wearing special one-off rugby shirts commemorating last December’s 40^th Anniversary of the Penlee Lifeboat Disaster.
