Cowan-Dickie (prop), who both play for the Pirates under 16 team >>>> Record
breaking Cup win for Under 14s Having encountered two hard fought contests
earlier in the competition, the Pirates put on a strong display to dismiss a spirited

team a sixth consecutive mini/juniors County Final title, a record for Penzance
& Newlyn RFC. A strong performance from the pack enabled the side to dominate
the flow of play and constantly pressurise the St. Ives defence, the penetrative
running of the backs proving too much for St. Ives to contain >>>> Under

Gets Her Call Up Caitlin Davey has enjoyed her last year of mixed Rugby
with the very successful Pirates under 12 team. In addition to continuing to play
a key role in the Pirates team she has been selected to play for the Cornwall
Girls Rugby under14 team. As an 11 year old she was moved from the
scrum, where she plays with the Pirates to full back as the girls are up to three
years older. Her excellent knowledge of the game and all round athletic
abilities enabled her to switch to this position with great success. She
made the starting line up for Cornwall in both the matches against Devon where
Cornwall won the Tamar Cup for the 2006 season. More recently, Caitlin has
been talent spotted by her Cornwall coaches and asked to attend South West training
led by an England scout. She has also gained a place in the South West squad for
two matches that may lead to a national tournament at Rugby School. Caitlin
is very keen to go as far as she can in rugby which remains her first love, despite
being part of other successful teams over the last year: -
