Cornwall Women have gone with a strong contingent from Launceston Ladies for their opening Gill Burns division two game against Oxfordshire Women at Polson Bridge on Sunday (2pm).

Coach Jo Holden said: “After last year’s triumph, I am unbelievably proud to still be part of this amazing process. The buy in we have had from all the women this year has been incredible and they are constantly raising the bar. 

“Our aim will always be to elevate women’s rugby and from the amount of women now involved across the county, I hope we are on the right track and can play this campaign with the same amount of passion we showed last year.”

Entry to the game is £5 by programme with under 16s free.
