The County Finals day was another big success and that was down to the hard work of small band of hardworking members who gave up their Bank Holiday!

The second of two well attended events saw the crowd attendance peak in the afternoon at around 600 people went smoothly and was an enjoyable experience for everyone who came to Tregorrick Park. For the second time in 6 days the eyes of the Cornish rugby fraternity were firmly fixed on St Austell RFC and again we rose to the challenge with the Club displayed at it is best.

This was all down to the people who volunteered their free time to support their Club. Ex-players (including Charlie Price one of the "1963 originals"); current players; supporters; Youth Section Coaches, Parents and players and Angels all pitched in together through the morning wind and rain and into the afternoon sunshine.

Everyone one did a fantastic job but I just want to name check a few individuals who did so much. Thank you to:

  • Rhian Roberts for organising our army of volunteers;
  • Andy Seaton for marshalling the troops so effectively;
  • Stuart Widger for sterling work on the griddle, flipping the burgers in style - McWidger anyone?
  • Darren Thompson for organising two unexpected buffets for the CRFU at the last minute on a Bank Holiday!
  • The kitchen team for grafting so hard serving 100s of meals on a two busy days
  • Tich Preston for preparing a magnificient surface for the three games.

Thank you One and All!

Paul Hayes
Chairman
