Cornwall U.18 Boys Round Off Hartpury Games
Match Report – Cornwall U18’s 10 v Gloucestershire 25
7th January 2024 @ Hartpury College, by Oscar Marr
Cornwall U18’s played their final game of the South West tournament this weekend. A highly anticipated game against Gloucestershire was all that was between Cornwall and an unbeaten run in the tournament.
The first half started solidly with a pointless first 15 minutes. Gloucestershire then began to build some momentum and broke the deadlock with the first score of the match. Cornwall continued to probe and test the Gloucester defence, but they could not end with a score.
Gloucester started to pounce on Cornwall’s mistakes and added two quick scores, but Cornwall were determined not to go into the break empty handed and sustained pressure through direct running from Olly Pellow led to a line break and an easy score in the corner from Bailey Hadfield to end the half.
Down at the break Cornwall were determined to make inroads on Gloucester’s lead early in the second half. However, the mistakes continued to keep them on the wrong side of momentum and Gloucester capitalised once again to start the half.
The next 20 minutes were Cornwall’s most positive of the day. Strong defence led to lots of attacking pressure but a lack of criticality meant they failed to score as many as they should. The pressure was not for nothing though as a slick move to access the wide channels was finished with a quick pick around the ruck from Kaea Griffiths.
Back in the game Cornwall hoped to find an extra score and push for the win. However, that was not the case and Gloucester finished the game with another score ending the game 5 tries to 2.
Squad: Dan Bennett, Charles Byron, Sam Vickery, Pierce Ford, Jack Jenkin, Bailey Hadfield, Issac Jago (Capt), Kaea Griffiths, Idris Logan, Oscar Marr, Ted Kullich, Olly Pellow, Harry Rigg, Jowan Wilding, Ross McKnight, Aaron Jones, Joe Court, Seb Dash, Jude Hardy, Ashton Rowe, Callum Phillips, Fin Stuart.
Tries: Hadfield, Griffiths.
Coaches: Andy Hawken, LJ Colick.

Match Official Abuse from 1st January 2024
The RFU Head of Judiciary has issued new guidelines in respect of Match Official Abuse cases as and from 1st January 2024.
The CRFU policy of adding 1 week aggravation to proven cases has now been replaced by a national aggravation policy, which CRFU Disciplinary will be implementing immediately. The aggravation sanctions are now much more severe!
These new regulations DO NOT apply to Age Grade rugby. Therefore the CRFU 1 week aggravation for cases of Match Official Abuse will continue to be applied in any Age Grade cases.
Please read and take note of the new guidance in the link
Bill Hooper
CRFU Discipline Secretary
Merry Christmas to One & All
CRFU President Andy Reed and all the officers at Cornwall RFU, wish everyone throughout the game in Cornwall and beyond a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Season of Goodwill at Perranporth
Perranporth RFC social secretary Joe Martin has been organising food collections over the last few weeks, a mix of Brewers players ‘bring and thing’ and donations from players led to a bumper food bank collection.
Perran Community Support, which runs the Community Fridge each week, said: “We are so very grateful to the members of the Rugby Club for their fundraising efforts that resulted in the mountain of festive goodies and other foods presented to us last Saturday – all of which will give our clients a better and happier Christmas. Thank you all so much!”.
Very proud of the lads for thinking of people less fortunate at Christmas.
Stevie Arthur Chairman PRFC
Well done to all at Perranporth showing great community spirit at what can be a very difficult time of the year for far too many fellow citizens.
