Radar, you are a funny guy. If this is the way they feel, so be it. All I know is that the funding has already been put aside and that it has been given a green light. I know I will be there. Little do they know it but American football is played at many of the Universities here in Britain. BTW we do have Cornish Wrasslin in North America. We actually have tournaments for it dear.

As far as Hurling you can check this website out too. At least we recognize England and Welsch sports in America. We don't discriminate just because it is from another country.
For a start, Kernow isn't England and another, we are not discriminating against another country. American Football is a bastardisation of Rugby and doesn't appeal to the average person over here in the British Isles. I find it boring and as about as flowing as treacle or should i say molasses!!
Now i'm going to settle down and watch a real sport, Rugby Union in the shape of the Six Nations, good flowing rugby with plenty of hard tackles and fisty cuffs with out the Volvo like padded protection to stop you getting hurt!!
You know AndyQ I could say the same thing about Rugby..all the men do is push back and forth in a circle for hours at a time, then the ball falls and they pick it back up and pass it to another player. Kind of sounds like an assembly line to me. I still will watch it with the neighbors though. It is very funny to me how much the rugby players I have spoken to from the Plymouth team say how much they would love to play American football. All I can say it just boils down to your taste, but no one should be down talking any sport...American or European or whatever other country. All sports players have earned the right to play somehow someway. Cheers. and have fun watching your team play today. Sorry if I offended you by calling Kernow part of England. Once again I guess if your Cornish you have the right to say that.
Fair comment Fyne, it's all down to a matter of taste and nothing to do with discrimination. As for the Plymouth Albion team, well they're an English club, so that says it all !! :wink:
I agree with what you say about not talking down any sport, we should encourage sport if anything, especially Rugby Union here in Kernow as there is so much potential for the furure of this sport in our small nation.
Im up for a bit of American Football, can someone please post me some more details please!!! Im 24 from Bodmin, 6ft 5" 18st, I know the basic rules but im no expert, but i can take hits and hit back harder!!!
Hi cmaxx here's a little more info for you about the Sharks, as head coach I've played and coached for 40 years ,and have been lucky to have been all round the world playing and coaching this fine sport.
The Team have there trials on the 26th of feb at the Newquay sport center.
time 12.30 bring your sweats and boots, you have the size to height to fit in well into our system, the colours of the Team are Las vagas gold helmets, black face cages, black shirts with a white cross on them, las vagas gold pants, white socks and black tops.
with the players that are committed to the team already I know that this will be one of the best Teams I've put together.
as Head coach I've won over 380 games now, 2 nationals championships , 14 div titles. 1 european title, been elected into the minor league hall of fame for the sport in the states.
so as you can see your not going to be coached by some arm chair coach.
see you on the 26th.
How many players are signed up so far and what will be involved at the trials??
My main concern is the fact ive never played the game before and I dont wanna be surrounded by players who know what they are doing and Im slowing them up!!!
I shouldn't worry cmaxx, there'll be lots of players like you. If you've played rugby you should have a head start. When I first started playing the coaches and players were very helpful and as time went on I worked my way into the starting team. Unlike football and rugby players can be changed at will so you should get on the pitch in matches. I'd imagine that this team would work the same.
