Both Luke and Jack attend Truro College.

Following a recent Pirates Colts match at the Mennaye Field, Penzance, the opportunity was taken to present a cheque for the sum of £300 to Penny Coombs, who was representing Macmillan Cancer Relief.
The money was raised for the charity when a Pirates Holiday XV played the annual match against Brooksy's Barbarians on Boxing Day, which provided another example of Penzance & Newlyn RFC's players and officials responding to provide charitable community support.

22nd August 09 | |  | | Playing
their perceived first ever game last Saturday as the Pirates Amateurs RFC, a pre-season
friendly match away to Perranporth was won 7-5. The game was as close as the result
indicates, it a hard and sporting contest when the visiting forwards just about
had the edge. Hooker Andrew Gwennap scored
the try for the Pirates, with fly-half Andrew Snell's conversion proving decisive.
