Cornish Pirates Mike Myerscough and Tom Luke, along with staff member Phil Westren, attended St. Maddern's Church of England School, Madron, on Saturday where Mike and Tom officially opened the school's summer fete.

St. Maddern's only has 30 pupils, so the support given by the Pirates to help raise much needed funds was greatly appreciated.

Children from the school have received 'tag' rugby coaching by the Pirates in the past, following which the children participated in a tournament. They returned home with a rugby ball which was presented to mark their sportsmanship.

Teresa Rowe the Headteacher said she was delighted that members of the successful Cornish Pirates team were able to be a part of St Maddern's fete and that the children were looking forward to working with the players again.
