A THANK you message has been sent out by Cornwall Rugby League to all the people who donated to a project of theirs.

The organisation were looking to raise £2,000 ahead of the County of Origin Series which will see Cornwall take on Devon over three matches for the Martin Roddy Cup.

With 48 hours to go before the deadline on fundraising website Crowdfunder closed, the target was reached.

Chairman John Beach said: “We put a lot of thought into how we could try and make Cornish County Rugby League truly for the people, both in the county and anyone who wishes to support from further afield.

“We want the first origin game at Redruth to be a great game and a memorable match-day experience for everyone.

“The support we’ve received has come from people near and far, and we would like to say thank you to them and Crowdfunder whose continued innovation is providing organisations like ours with great new ways of moving forward.”
