Worldwide Winners
June 2008

Members of the public attending the Royal Cornwall Show at Wadebridge earlier this month had the opportunity not only to mix with Cornish Pirates players, but also to 'box' against them!

Organised in conjunction with club sponsors Worldwide Financial Planning Limited, the contests actually took place on a Games Console sited in Worldwide's showground stand.

Ultimately, it was all good fun, and much enjoyed by the players and contestants alike .

The overall winner was Matthew Smitherham, aged 11, who 'ko'd' Joe Beardshaw in 10 seconds. Second was 14 years old Adam Durnin, who managed to 'ko' Ron Elloway in 16 seconds, whilst Josh Sharpe, also aged 14, 'ko'd' Ollie Thomas in 24 seconds.

The winners will be sent tickets for the Cornish Pirates versus Redruth pre-season 'friendly' match to be played at Camborne on Saturday 16th August (ko 5pm), when at half-time they will have their photographs taken with Worldwide's Managing Director, Peter McGahan, and Cornish Pirates' popular mascot 'Captain Benbow'.

During the course of the Show, Worldwide Financial Planning Limited and the Cornish Pirates also ran a 'Spot the Ball' competition which was won by 11 years old Georgina Jeffery.
