Normally in May the Comish team and supporters would be looking forward ta cricket or the next season! The Cornwall R.F.U. and its supporters ail look forward to this Semi Final match, only 7 d ays after the Quarter Final played against Kent last Saturday. Today's game is only the Stll encounter between Cornwall and Cheshire and ail of the games have been in the last 18 years. The clea rest memory is the fine performance of the Cheshire Team on 18th April 1998 in the Final at Twickenllam when Cheshire were victors by 21 points to 14 and w ith 26 counties in this year's competition it is perhaps ironic that only one of last year 's fin alists can now get there in 1999. Cheshire today visit Redruth on the 3rd occasion, they have not been to another Cornish ground, in September 1981 in a friendly Cornwall won by 20 points to 3, and in the Thorn EMI County Championship fo rmat in November 1984 they beat Cornwall by 16 points to 9. In October 1983 Cornwall travelled to New Brighton and won by 20 points to nil. So before we start today the record is equaI, but Cheshire have won the County Championship 3 tinles to Cornwall 's 2 wins in 1908 and 1991. We ail expect a tough gam e today especially seeing how weil Cheshire beat Yorkshire last weekend by 40 points to 13. The Offi cers and Committee are most gratefuJ to the panel on Hon. Surgeons who support the county teams - last Saturday they were especially busy on behalf of the injured players and spectators who were taken ill at the match. The support of the Cornwall Air Ambulance, St. John's Ambulance and the West County Ambulance Trust were ail seen last Saturday. You w ill have noted that we have included a donation to the Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust in today's programme priee. Thank you for your support of a vital Comish service run by charity. The collection for the John Kendall-Carpenter memorial Trust raised f354 last Saturday. The Union is gratefuJ to the Directors of Miller & Company and ta others: the Sports Shop at Saltash and William Rogers Insurance Services for the use of their premises fo r ticket sales fo r this match and aIso for last Saturday's loan of the ticket office by Vospers o f Truro. The Union is pleased la receive Ihe sponsorship from Dales Renal/lt for loday's malch. No matter the result today, the Under 21 XV are already in the U21 Final on Saturday, 22nd May and the Cornwall XV will play the Allied Dunbar 2 w inners, probably Bristol - it will be decided tomorrow - at Tw ickenham on Sunday, 23rd May. TIckets will be available by post as indicated on the inside caver. If we can arrange any other sales points we w ill advise you via the media. The Officers and Committee of the CR.F.U. thank the sponsors, players and spectators for their support in 1998-99. Dr. C. V. Phillips (H all. Sec., C.R.EU.)
