Cornwall travel to Kent this Saturday in the Bill Beaumont Cup and it would be great to see as many London & SE based Cornishmen and women there!

Spread the word, put on the black and gold, break out the St. Piran's Flag, and let's make it a day to remember
- Ben Gilby, Press Officer

The game is to be played at the home of National Three London & SE side Gravesend RFC, and with Cornwall gaining an excellent win at Cinderford against Gloucestershire last weekend, and Kent performing creditably against Hertfordshire - YOUR support could make all the difference in getting Cornwall a step nearer a potential third successive County Championship Final at Twickenham.

A good number of London Cornish RFC officials are heading to Gravesend, but it would be good to multiply that number by as many as possible, so please spread the word, put on the black and gold, break out the St. Piran's Flag, and let's make it a day to remember!

Gravesend RFC are certainly looking to welcome the Cornish warmly as they have advertised that three Cornish ales will be available in their clubhouse.
