Papa Johns Community Cup
| Entries are now open for the Papa Johns Men’s Community Cup Enter Now |
| The Papa Johns Men’s Community Cup competitions will take place after the completion of the regular league season. This was the most favoured model during the Future Competition Structure consultation, intended to decongest the season and avoid league fixture clashes. This has allowed the mid-season entry process to give clubs a better understanding of their squad for the season as well as the ability to compete in the Cup competitions with teams of comparable ability in other leagues. It will also enable clubs who enter to switch their focus to the Cup competition once their league season has finished. Incentives for clubs to enter the Papa Johns Community Cup Opportunity for all finalists to play at Twickenham Stadium or other prestigious venues, with travel and accommodation provided. Travel bursaries available for competing clubs (men’s and women’s competitions). Further details to be published in due course. Exclusive benefits offered by Papa Johns to clubs competing in their Cup competitions (men’s and women’s), including a unique 50% discount for pizza specific to your community club for members, friends and family to use; On each redemption of this unique code, Papa Johns will make a donation back to the community club. The entry period is now open and will close on Thursday 1 December. You are encouraged to complete the entry form below. Enter Now |

CRFU suspend 2020/21 rugby season
The Cornwall Rugby Football Union has decided that the remainder of the 2020/21 season should be suspended. Clubs have been circulated and their wishes requested, but only eight clubs replied. Three of those decided they did not want any formal arrangement of fixtures, cup or league. The remaining five would have accepted some form of formal competition, but 2 of them would only play in a cup. There will, therefore, be no formally arranged rugby competitions during this time.
Clubs are reminded that, if they wish, they are free to arrange fixtures within the restrictions set down by RFU during what remains of the 2020/21 season. Any such fixtures must be arranged by participating clubs. Cornwall Rugby Referees Society is willing to provide referees for any games arranged by clubs and it will be for those clubs to contact the Society to arrange referees.
A full programme of league and cup rugby will resume for the 2021/22 season assuming that Government and RFU restrictions permit.
Regards,
Chris Jewels.

CRFU Postpone Competitions Until Further Notice
You will have seen the news that the county has moved into tier 3 with all that that entails. You may also have seen the RFU guidance to tier 3 and the implications of that.
The CRFU have taken a responsible view all through Covid and I hope you’ll agree we have not only kept clubs informed as to RFU developments but also offered assistance to any club who has either asked or needed it. For that reason we wanted to act quickly on the above.
As a constituent body we think it would be fool hardy to endorse any form of competition and to that aim have suspended the start of our clusters until end of January when we will update. I know this will be disappointing to some but please think of the big picture. The County has already had players tested positive, and I’m sure we all want to support our NHS, with cases on the increase.
To that aim the colts, U16s and the County DPP will also be suspended until 31st January when the position will be reviewed.The Govt are reassessing the situation in a fortnight and we of course will be guided by any changes.
The situation now is simple, as a CB we can not stop you playing friendlies but we would urge you to consider the possible consequences. The RFU allow this but with strict restrictions, please see their website
2020 has been an awful year for us all, let’s hope 2021 is better for all sport and especially Cornish rugby.

Cornwall Cluster Leagues now finalised.
The CRFU Cluster matches have been postponed for the time being. The fixture matrix has been forwarded to all clubs so that they can publish on their club websites.
There are a number of blank dates in the list. These are reserved/break Saturdays which will allow us to fit in any matches affected by bad weather. They also avoid some of the 6 Nations dates and Easter.
Current RFU and Government guidelines must be complied with at all times.
Clusters are to be played according to current RFU laws, but with the following dispensations to regulations which will apply across all clusters.
1). Teams must be of at least 10 players before a game may start. In the event of a shortfall in one team, the loaning of players is encouraged.
2). Teams must have equal numbers at the start of the game.
3). To maximise the numbers of players able to participate, each team may have a maximum of 7 replacements with a maximum of 14 roll overs.
IMPORTANT.
Each team MUST report the result and the number of tries scored to TONY KNIGHTSBRIDGE within 24 hours of the match either via Whats App, or on 07944 731625. Tony would prefer Whats App.
Failure to do so will mean that the match will be recorded as a nil/nil draw, and the records on the website will be inaccurate and useless.
