I was saddened to hear that Benji had passed away yesterday (11/02/22).

Benji was Cornwall coach for many years and will be remembered for many things, but bringing the county trophy back to the Duchy in 1991 will be one of the first things that people remember. Not since Trelawney was in keep and hold have so many Cornishmen descended on London and on that occasion turning Twickenham Black and Gold.

A Cornishman through and through.
