Cornwall RFU would like to introduce David Saunter as our representative on the England Rugby Football Union Council.
For those of you who have not worked alongside Dave or had the privilege of meeting him, below is a little backstory.
Inspired by his PE teacher at secondary school, Dave has been involved in rugby for 50 years both on the field and off.
As a player at Bodmin RFC he is proud to have made over 1000 appearances in a club shirt. Off the field he has been on the Club Committee since 1988. He has held many offices and at present he is a trustee of the Club.
Whilst playing and since retiring he has also been a referee. When a little fitter, he was happy at level 7, now does any level match given, helping with the youth and women’s matches on a Sunday.
Driven to promote and support the community game Dave joined the CRFU Management Board as Chair of Youth and Education.
For the last five years he has been our County Chairman. A great believer in “change is good and not to give into stagnation” he has now handed this role to his successor.
Last season he was also Team Manager for the Cornwall Women’s team.
On a personal note, Dave is married to Jenny and has two grown up children.
Dave is very proud to have been elected on to the ERFU Council on behalf of the CRFU.
