Pirates promote the Barbarians

Saturday 10th January 2024

Bolingey Barbarians had a great day out at The Mennaye Field for The Cornish Pirates fixture versus Nottingham. The rugby didn’t disappoint, what a great 41-17 victory for the Pirates. Both sides grappling with the blustery conditions with a mix of territorial high ball brinkmanship and a willingness to run the ball through the hands for some splendid phases of play, providing a high scoring spectacle for the fans.

Our endeavours to help children’s charities in Cornwall through our collection was equally successful. We raised nearly £800 thanks to the generous support of all those who kindly donated to our appeal.

The Barbarians wish the Pirates every success in this season’s campaign. We extend congratulations and recognise the remarkable achievements of Cornish Pirates owner, Sir Richard ‘Dicky’ Evans awarded a knighthood in the New Year Honours.

With thanks expressed to Phil Westren, Penzance Pirates media liaison officer. Phil has championed the Bolingey Barbarians cause for years and has been instrumental in making us feel welcome, highlighting our charitable work with his informative commentary to the rugby faithful at the Mennaye. We are delighted to make Phil an ‘honorary Barbarian’ and hope he enjoys wearing his black and gold tie as much as we do.
