Support certainly.made a difference. With 15 to go and Cheshire within three points you could almost see the lift that the crowd gave the men in black and gold. I'll remember for a long time seeing the team arrive through the gates at Twickenham with their supporters serenading them with 'Cornwall My Home' - real.goosebump stuff.

Any other county would love to have that level of support - only Yorkshire and Lancashire come close in my experience.

And yes, EC women took home a trophy after a stern test against a good Hampshire side. So a pretty good - but very long day. But the drive back to Cambridge not as long as the return trip to Redruth!

We had a great day out at HQ, even though the result didn't go our way. Although Cheshire had a spirited fight back in the second half, the game was sewn up in the first 10 mins.

Cheshire looked to have scored from a kick through and chase, but the ball just went into touch-in-goal before the winger could ground it.

Historic treble for the Black and Gold.
U20, Senior Mens and Div 3 Ladies.
Perhaps Division 1 isn't that good if a side predominately drawn from National 2 and below can defeat the best Div.1 can offer?

A lot has been said about the Cheshire Caldy/Sale combinations, very little said about the Cornwall chances for todays game.

Today is a proud day for "Cousin Jacks" with our ladies also winning the Gill Burns Trophy at Richmond.

If Cornwall go on to win this it shows just what it means to them.

Cheshire made up exclusively of now Championship Caldy and 2nd place in Nat 1 Sale FC surely down as favourites

That's half-time.
There has been a YC for Cornwall, they have another five minutes to play with 14.

Somerset and Leicester won the earlier matches.

They always travel to support their county (I guess because there's nothing else to do on a saturday down there beyond support that new club in the lesser code)

Great fun supporting Cornwall. There is always a special atmosphere. The players know what it means too. People seem to just enjoy supporting their teams down this way. I watch Plymouth Albion around the country with a group of fans and it's the passion that keeps us all going. Often think it's probably different living in London etc for people.

Nice words Carlos. Was following from afar for this one and was a bit nervous at 5-0 and 19-21. Hertfordshire have a good history in the competition.

I agree with the comments on the structure in the thread as it may have been Cornwall missed out when they had played two games but knew that was just the way the fixtures went, it could have been Cornwall with Surrey and other counties would have been able to say but Cornwall haven't played etc.

Looking forward to playing Cheshire again, an interesting match ahead after most of their players finished first or second in National 1.
Looking forward to the final ,Cornish supporters are a great bunch think its the only time some of them ever leave Cornwall is to visit Twickenham .Cheshire do have players in the squad who played at level 7 this season so should be interesting.

Well, one.
