Pirates Players Receive A Grilling!
 

July 2009

Ever wondered what the Pirates players do when they're not training? Well, some of the squad use some of their valuable recovery time to visit Camborne and get 'grilled' by schoolchildren attending a 10-week course at the Cornish Pirates Learning Zone's CPR Learning Space.

During this term the staff members have been grateful for the attendance of Chris Morgan and Jimmy Moore who came to see them and were interviewed by pupils from Trewirgie, Illogan, Kehelland, Penponds and Lanner primary schools, plus Redruth and Pool secondary schools.

During the first week pupils research the players using the club's excellent website, and they then use the information provided to compile an interview. The players then attend a learning zone session where the pupils 'grill' them.

John Watson, teacher at the CPR Learning Space commented:

"To many, Camborne is a Pirates stronghold and we have pupils who live, eat and sleep rugby. Some of the questions are both in- depth and extremely mature and our thanks go to Chris and Jimmy for giving up their valuable time - it helps the pupils make progress in their English and literacy at school and really does make a difference!"
