Cornish Pirates

Working with the Penwith Sports Partnership representatives the Cornish Pirates have been supportive this season to help coach 'tag rugby' in the area.

Schools visited have included St. Buryan, St. Just, St. Levan, Sennen and Pendeen Primary School, this forming part of a programme to help develop pupils' skills and also provide expert advice for teachers, it being an experience which all involved have enjoyed.

The climax of the coaching resulted in an U11s Tag Rugby Competition held at Cape Cornwall School last week, which was won by St. Just Primary School. Present at the event to present certificates were Owen Hambly and Adam Nicholls, two young Academy players from the Cornish Pirates who have played both for England Schools and British Colleges.
