The Cornish Pirates will this year be holding their annual 'Meet the Players' night on Friday, August 3.

In recent year's the event has proved immensely popular for season ticket holders, various sponsors and volunteers, so the obvious advice is to be there on the night to welcome the squad for a new season at the Mennaye Field.

Head coach Ian Davies and his colleagues have been busy in recent months recruiting a mix of young, exciting and hungry players, along with a few seasoned campaigners, and following a structured training session that starts on the main pitch at 6.30pm, the introduction of new players will take place in front of the main grandstand at about 7.15pm.

The clubhouse will be open till late so 'one & all' will have the opportunity to mingle, meet up with old friends again and get to know the new boys.
