Dear Club Secretary / Coach,
Cornwall Under 20 – Training Squads 2025
I am writing as the temporary CRFU Under 20 Team Manager to ask for your assistance with
the coming season. Cornwall U20’s enters the Jason Leonard Cup, the County Championship
for that age group. Last season we had representation from over 14 different Cornish clubs
which is a fantastic achievement. We are looking to start training in January 2025, depending on
confirmation of the fixtures from the RFU.
The squad will be coached by Rich Kevern who also acts as a link for these young players into
the full County squad. We will be holding training sessions commencing in January 2025 on
Sunday mornings at Truro college between 1000 -1200 with the aim of building a squad for the
Jason Leonard Cup U20 County Championship.
We would like you to nominate players that you feel have the skill / knowledge and potential to
represent your club at County Under 20 level.
The requirements are nominated players must be under 20 years of age on 1 st September
2024, however, they must also be over the age of 18 before they can train as it is classed as
adult rugby and registered as an adult player with your club.
If you wish to discuss any potential players, then please do not hesitate to contact myself in the
first instance on the details above or in the county handbook. I thank you in anticipation of your
support. Please complete and return the pro forma (link below) by 05 October 2024 to me or the assistant
team manager Terry Williams, by email or over the phone.
Yours sincerely,
Colin Hatch
