Penzance & Newlyn RFC played its first match on the 22nd September, 1945. Since then the club has flourished both on and off the field. Currently competing in the second tier of English rugby, the Pirates take to the field and represent the amazing communities of Cornwall on a weekly basis. Sometimes it goes our way, sometimes it doesn't. But our style and brand of rugby is unique, just like the people who support us. We play and train right here at our home ground, the Mennaye Field in Penzance.
