@RedruthRugby No Longer: Why I Resigned
My club didn't want me to use the 'P' word. Here's why I disagreed. After 50 months of tweeting as @RedruthRugby, and even longer as admin of the club's Facebook page and earlier than that the fan group that existed before the advent of Pages on Facebook, last night I resigned my role as the National 2 South club's social media administrator.

Digpen III @ Falmouth

Redruth v Tynedale Rugby Match Preview
Most teams gaining promotion to National One have a honeymoon season then struggle the second time around. Bucking that trend, Tynedale's second season at this level has been every bit as successful as their first, with the northern outfit currently scrapping it out with Launceston for third place in the league after finishing fourth last year. Tynedale will be eager ...
