Penzance & Newlyn youth players and their opponents have enjoyed some well-earned tasty treats after their games following a donation from Cornwall’s oldest bakery. 

Warren Bakery has provided Penzance & Newlyn RFC mini and junior section, with 475 sausage rolls, 45 vegan rolls and 120 Christmas biscuits.  

Euan McNeill, the chairperson of the club’s mini and junior section, said: “Warrens Bakery has their roots in Penwith and is a familiar face in our community.  

“We have a number of parents who have connections to them and after one of our volunteers approached Warrens regarding supporting our minis and juniors, and we have been building a partnership that we hope will continue into the future.  

“So far, the Warrens team at the Terrace Penzance has provided after-match food for over 500 home and away players over three weeks. 

“We are really pleased to have started our relationship with a proudly Cornish company, who is supporting not only our youth teams, the future of the sport and the community game, but also Wooden Spoon, the children’s rugby charity.  We look forward to what 2024 brings for our teams alongside Warrens Bakery.”  

Louise Batty from Warrens Bakery said: “We are thrilled to be working with the Penzance & Newlyn RFC mini and junior section. 

“We appreciate the significance and importance of the community and also team-work, values that are integral to the Warrens team, but also to Penzance & Newlyn RFC youth teams. The support therefore felt like a perfect fit for us both and also helps us strengthen our existing relationship with the rugby community.”
