Beaten in their Newquay Surf Sevens 'Pool' games last weekend against strong representative sides from Newquay and Totnes, the Pirates 'Amateurs' refused to be downhearted, and continued their participation in the Skinners Brewery Clubs Competition by then challenging for the Plate award.

Reaching the final, a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon of competition ended in defeat when Orpington-based 'Olaf's Axes', a team representing Kent side Old Olavians, emerged 31-5 victors.

Pirates Amateurs squad: Scott Powell, Wayne Davey, Neal Turner, Dan Bateman, George Pye, Ashley Weston, Treve Dugdale, Josh Oliver, Steven Kent, Kelvin James.

Pirates 'Amateurs' Play An Important Role In this professional age, it is sometimes forgotten that the majority of sportsmen and women are amateur in the true sense of the word, playing their chosen sport for fun and and enjoyment. A success story this past couple of years has been the introduction of the Pirates 2nds, the mix of youth and experience now referred to as the 'Amateurs', who play in the Cornwall Merit Table and are coached by Paul Greaves. The side is captained by Wayne Davey, with Scott Dugdale, a Penzance & Newlyn RFC committee member, its driving force. Scott is truly proud to be a 'Pirate', his father Roger and uncle Peter having played for the club, whilst his son Trevelyan is also captain of the Colts.
