It seems to be very difficult to get rugby results for the Cornish clubs. Living up country I have to wait ages for things to get posted on the internet.
Apart from the author most of us have come in via the "Last Forum Posts" and didn't realise we were not in the sports forum. It's all lamornas fault!!! Having said that Diane if lamorna isn't getting the results quick enough it's more than just a sports issue (unless a Camborne supporter) it's a national disaster!!
Joking apart I take Diane's point, but I'm sure lamorna didn't mean to upset you.
No I'm sure Lamorna didn't mean to upset any of us. It's just that it's the second sporting topic on here. I feel obliged to click on every Cornish topic just in case I miss something, as posters often go off the subject. Now, if it's on the sport forum I don't click, knowing nothing there is going to interest me.
Great win Stonefly. The ref was whistle-happy for the first 10-15mins; but then Mount's Bay took charge. Close game with Albion and Quins. Looking forward to Boxing Day!
Pirates won aswell Lads! London Welsh were beaten 20 - 17 by us. By the way Stonefly do you know what Dickies going to do to the Mennaye, if not here it is.
Message from the President
I have been asked about the Mennaye Developments in Penzance, so I am pleased to report as follows.
We are currently finalising the general arrangement (GA) plans for the new facilities which will go to Penwith Council in the near future for outline planning approval.
When the GA is produced by the architects to our specification, this will be on view at our Westholme clubhouse.
In a nutshell the outline plans comprise:
i) New clubhouse along the length of the Alexandra Road end with offices and meeting rooms on the first floor (Penzance end).
ii) New stand to replace existing stand (in the same location) to seat 800.This protects supporters from the south-west storms as now (Jewson side).
iii) Changing rooms (4 sets) on the opposite side feeding the Mennaye and the Mennaye Nurseries. Raised terracing in front of this along the length of the field (pool side of the pitch).
iv) Gym, medical centre, changing facilities, Learning Zone and squash courts on the SW side (Newlyn end).
Outline planning permission is the first step in the development of what will be a terrific facility for West Penwith rugby for the future, the base for the Cornish Pirates’ training and preparation as well as the playing base for all other teams within the Penzance & Newlyn RFC.A new General
Manager for the Mennaye has been appointed – Peter Richmond (Chief Executive Penzance & Newlyn RFC) oversee all development and playing activities at the Mennaye for the Management Committee.

I can't help but think, why the hell do the Pirates really need to move up to Truro when the Mennaye is going to be this good? I was always against the move to Truro and the name change originally, but as you know came around to accepting the Cornish Pirates. But i still think the Mennaye should be their home and always have done and if i am really honest with myself....i want the name Penzance and Newlyn RFC back!!!
