Trewirgie School At Twickenham

Trewirgie School represented the Cornish Pirates in the EDF National Schools Rugby Final at Twickenham this weekend, and won both their games on the Twickenham pitch. They were selected after taking part in the Cornish Pirates EDF Energy Rugby Programme, which has introduced tag rugby to schools across Cornwall.

In addition to the great rugby, they did so looking very smart in their new kit, which was provided by Cornish Pirates retail partner Whirlwind Sports. Trewirgie beat a school from Exeter Chiefs, and a school from Worcester Warriors in their new shirts, polo shirts and shorts.

They also got seats to watch all the rugby action courtesy of EDF Energy, and had a great day, especially for Welsh teacher Dave Williams who saw the Ospreys beat the Leicester Tigers in the EDF Energy Cup Final.

Gary Billing of Whirlwind Sports said:
"It is not often that a Cornish School gets the chance to represent the county on such a big stage. Therefore, when the school contacted us, we decided we would help them by making sure they looked at their best when they take to the Twickenham turf. It's even better that they are going there to represent the Pirates as it ties in really well with our partnership with them."

Dave Williams, Head of Rugby at Trewirgie School was also delighted, saying:
"We had a great day out, and the new kit made it a bit more special. We hope that we made Cornwall look good on the day"
