Rugby Football Union
Eddie Jones has named both Luke Cowan-Dickie and Jack Nowell in his England side to face Scotland at Murrayfield in Saturday’s 6 Nations opener.
Cowan-Dickie will start the game, whilst Nowell will look to make an impact from the bench.
Congratulations to both players on their selection.
David Martin would like to thank all those who donated to Chloe’s fund for the Headland Cancer Centre at Treliske. It has now reached £575! David still has a number of ties remaining, so, if anyone would like one in return for a donation, they can send David (davecmartin@hotmail.com) their address and he will forward you a tie. The Cornish Rugby Family, far and wide, has “come up trumps” yet again!
Kind regards,
David Martin

The RFU request that clubs submit notification of all positives tests with in a club (including retrospective cases). This information is requested to allow the RFU to monitor the number of confirmed positive COVID-19 test occurring in clubs and ensure the club has the appropriate support.
Clubs can do this by filling out the Positive Test Notification Form.
Andy Demaine, whom many of you will know has played and coached rugby, has written a book about his journey as a pioneer kidney transplant patient some 50 years ago which changed his perspective on life, becoming an activated patient and volunteer despite his young age, notably with Donor Cards and donation awareness.

We are pleased to announce that we are now able to offer a new robotic line marking
service – no more measuring, marking out with string or pushing the line marker!

subsequent remarking, using the stored data.
• The robot can work on natural grass and artificial surfaces.
• It can cope with soft ground and rough conditions
• Able to paint between fixed posts
• All sports templates are available
To enhance the line marking service we also offer;
• Addition of growth regulator to the paint to maintain the quality of
the lines for longer

set up costs)
