The Cornwall Women rugby squad has been announced for the Gill Burns Cup Division 2 campaign and Women's Tamar Cup match against Devon.

The squad consists of thirty players, with five from the Penryn Ladies - Paige Clarke, Fern-Daisey Cumine, Rebecca O'Reilly, Rosie Ninnis and Georgia Hall—, Caitlyn Eddy from Helston Women and Camborne Women's Stephanie Nicholas. On the whole, 16 members of the team have participated in the previous season.

The squad includes several top players including captain Amy Bunt, prop Kim Upcott, and scrum-half Amy Warman.

Coach Jo Holden said: "We have had good numbers coming forward during the trials and the county cup games.

"It’s been very hard to nail down the final squad as the level keeps improving year on year.

"I think we have a very good mix of experience and emerging young talent that will gel well under the captaincy of Amy Bunt.

"I am excited to see what this squad can achieve in the coming weeks; we have the Tamar Cup game against Devon and then three tough Gill Burns Cup games against Hampshire, Hertfordshire and Somerset."
