Cornish Pirates

Cornish Pirates V London Welsh
SATURDAY** April 25th Kick Off 3pm

When the Cornish Pirates play London Welsh this Saturday, they will wear a new purple and yellow rugby shirt as a one off for what is the last game of the season.

The Samurai produced shirt features palm trees, waves, a surfboard and the Pirate FM FeatherMotif, and the aim is to help raise funds for the 'Pirate Trust', which is the official charity of PirateFM.

Anyone interested can see what it looks like in the windows of Whirlwind Sports in Penzance, Camborne and Helston.

To raise money for the Pirate Trust, the shirts will be auctioned before the match via an on-line auction, Pirate FM will be holding a bucket collection on the day, and they have also been running 'text to win' competitions on air ahead of Saturday's game.

Bob McCreadie, Programme Director for Pirate FM said:"It is fantastic that the Cornish Pirates have chosen to wear the colours of the Pirate Trust and support the charity. We want as many of our listeners as possible to get along to the game and givesome money to the cause."

To help boost the crowd, the Cornish Pirates will be offering special price family tickets so that more people can come and watch the game, and enjoy a fantastic end of season party in Camborne, which includes a hog roast, live entertainment and a bouncy castle for the children.

Also, all who book a ticket in advance through the Cornish Pirates Ticket Office will be placed in raffle to win one of the shirts.

Bids for the shirts have gone very well indeed, with there a total of 20 being auctioned in aid of thePirate Trust.
